I would imagine that it varies with each school and that they don't have a specific number of phone interviews that they stick to 100%. They may try to weed the 100 apps down to about 15-25 phones, then invite 5 or 6 of those to a superday. That being said, if there are more than 25 highly competitive applicants then I doubt they would pass the extra few over, and if there were less than 15 I don't think they would force themselves to do first rounds with an extra few just to hit a number.
Haven gone through the process just these days, I can tell you: My school had 400+ applicants but you gotta realize a lot of these people are just resume-dropping most BBs gave 20 interviews. some 30, some 10.
andddd I got 10+ interviews with every BB and prestigious boutique, no offer. :( so chances? slim.
I don't go to a target school, but the BBs that recruit here (BarCap, GS, UBS, Citi) each have 24 interview slots for banking (each posting gets 200+ applicants), or two rooms.
isn't that sentence kind of self-contradictory? if you have gs, ubs, citi, and barcap each interviewing 20+ students on your campus, that must be considered at least a semi-target
Yeah, I consider it a semi-target, just not a target. It's BC. UBS takes 3-6. BarCap takes 7-10. GS takes 0-2. Citi takes 3-6. Jefferies takes 6 (guarateed). DB takes 1-3. MS takes 1-2. So, overall, recruiting is not bad here, but it's still not a true target school, I guess, since it's shunned by a few of the banks.
i go to a target and i just found out there are 12 slots while 150 ppl apply per posting this is for campus interviews phone interviews much less likely
At my target school we have 13 slots for every OCR position interviews. Probably 2-300 applicants for each position. No idea how many make it to second round. Have heard of people going for 4th rounds for GS etc at my school. I'm not a finance major and i'm fortunate enough to get MS and Barcap S&T so far.
what school? HYP?
u kno harvard has similar numbers...no once takes 20 kids from one school for SA
At my school they interview around 10-20ish, depending on the bank.
prospector101 - i would disagree with your comment...certain schools, in particular Penn (combined between wharton, engineering school, and liberal arts college), sends upwards of 20 kids for SA and FT to certain bulge bracket banks. I think GS, for example, hired ~25 for SA from Penn last year. Just look at their career surveys...my brother went to wharton...only reason I know this stuff is that he jokingly brings it up all them time. (http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/undergrad/reports.html)
EDIT: Just looked through the FT Penn 2010 report which includes data from all their UG programs...they sent 37 to GS last year, 22 to Citi, 18 BarCap, 18 MS, 16 BAML, 15 JPM, 13 CS, 13 Blackstone, 12 UBS, 9 DB, 6 Moelis, 6 evercore, etc
Our numbers for Harvard high as well but honestly not to the level of Wharton. I think we sent something like ~15-20 to GS for last years SA class.
at penn, speaking firsthand i can say that most BB's give 30-40 first rounds boutiques between 14 (centerview) and 42 (evercore)
6-24. Most are around 12 but some places will use 2 rooms and do 24. This is a state school where all the banks recruit.
multiples of 10 or 12: firms like Barcap, GS and MS that spend a lot on recruiting give 40 first rounds for ST and 40 for banking, then whittle that down to 10-15 superdays then take whatever students are super impressive(like 3-6)... Considering that hundreds apply, your odds of getting a summer offer are slim. But looking at the handful of qualified candidates, every firm wants to see him/her and their chances are much higher.
for Wharton: 24-48 interviews per division per BB
pshhh wharton
but they offer what 2-3 jobs, what bb wants a half a class of wharton kids
^ at least from what i've noticed...most want a class with a large % of wharton kids...just working with them I've realized that they are just leaps and bounds more prepared than even HYP kids. I wish i would have gone to W instead of H.
