There is no specific application opening date given for Europe on the Goldman Sachs website, just July 1st for the Americas. I'm getting vague information from anyone I ask, who just say "sometime in July", does anyone know the exact date for sure from a reliable source?

I does not matter, applications are not reviewed until mid September. Source: I work at GS in London.
How does it not matter when the applications are reviewed on a rolling basis?
As above rolling basis from mid September onwards. After that we usually make batches every 3-4 weeks. But any applicant in the first batch will have applied by mid September and considered the same as someone that applied on day 1.
May I know if this also applies for spring week applicants? Thanks
In the huge spreadsheet, do you see all the disclosure / conflict of interest information too?
No. We get to see gender, languages nothing else really.
Please feel free to throw MS at me but the Goldman insider who is discouraging everyone from applying early despite the website saying applications should be reviewed on a rolling basis fills me with suspicion. Because 1. The advice being given is counter to the published website advice. 2. They claim to be both a first year analyst and to have been involved in recruiting last year, so they must have been involved in recruitment while sitting in their full time training class. 3. While very well researched in what happens at Goldman they haven't supplied any genuine insider info, specifically when applications open. Now I might be wrong and being really unfair on an IBD professional who has given up their time to help us kids. If I am I apologise unreservedly but I will be applying to Goldman early, everyone else can do what they want. The fourth reason I am suspicious is that there was this melt on the TSR IB forum who kept putting out disinformation "to help his chances". He pissed off everyone so much that allegedly a couple of kids tracked him down on LinkedIn and tried to get him blackballed. Don't know if the story is true but he is legend on the group chats.
Do you have any information then about the GS application opening date? Apparently no one here does
Hey dude - I’m not discouraging anyone to apply early, I’m just saying it’s pointless to apply on the day it opens. So having the exact date is useless but by all means do apply early. Also there is no point of rushing your application, it’s much better to take some time and send a very high quality application mid july.
Also you should know that you get promoted in August to A2 hence yes I have been involved in recruiting last year - our new joiners haven’t yet joined.
Furthermore i have provided insider information - ie CV scoring by people from your country - ask people at GS if this is true if you don’t believe me. But look, take my advice if you want, if you don’t want it I’m fine too.
Finally I do not know myself when apps open - I should ask HR and I just can’t care less. I know that I’ll be conducting interviews/reviewing CVs for sure in September-December.
Quick question: you mentioned that people from your country review your CV but are these people also your university alumni?
No offence meant but I will still be applying early.
Cheers for the info. I have some questions -
Can analysts refer applicants for the London SA at GS, I networked with a second year analyst and got on really well, he mentioned he'd be more than happy to refer me for the programme if there's any way.
Is cover letter still part of the application process? I checked the portal and it only has an option to upload CV (for the locations open right now)
Last year they had a question which asked what your motivations behind applying for GS and the division were. The word limit was 300 words and there was a box to type in your response. It was basically a cover letter.
Another question: if I am from mainland Europe and thus European analysts are scoring my CV should I include a photo on my CV or are LDN rules for CVs still applicable?
Don't put your pic into the CV, pls
Are cover letters looked at in the first place? And if so, does knowing people, and mentioning ("name dropping") them in letters help?
Many thanks!

Does anyone know if London will be taking off-cycle interns in the Investment Banking Division in 2021?
The applications have opened but there doesn't seem to be an option to apply to IBD, however Global Markets and other divisions are available. I also checked Summer Analyst internships in London for 2021 and the option to apply for IBD is available.
Not sure if I should apply to the 2021 SA role for IBD now or wait for the off-cycle applications to allow IBD applications.
There are no off-cycle internship positions at GS IBD London. MBD does it though in case you are interested.

Do GS London accept final year year students for SA? Unsure if I want to do a masters but don't want to get auto-filtered out of the application for being a final year student
Yes, you can apply as a final year student.
cheers, thank you!
Does getting a referral from aso/VP do anything for your app?
