Stuck and worried...
hey all, i really need some help, this is my current situation target 3.63 gpa, intern at MS GWM (even got a rec from someone at MS GWM that i submitted with my application) penn state business society vp varsity tennis player finance major
i'm looking into working in the middle office, applied to MS financial control group and i have not heard back, anyone have any idea if i stand a chance? i'm really worried about this, i have not heard back, my other apps are for blackrock - portfolio analytics group, deloite - business consulting, anyone have any idea if they would give a shot with what i have on my resume (above info) any help would be most appreciated
I'm assuming these places are recruiting on campus, so you have a chance. But nobody here is going to tell you you'll be fine. Just stop worrying about it and get more stuff lined up, don't stop until you actually take an offer. Besides, october starts tomorrow, you aren't remotely stuck.
My 1st impression is that the odds are against you given your school background and assuming you have no contacts.
That said, I'm much more concerned about the fact that you seem to have applied to so few places. If you're interested in consulting for example, you should seriously apply to other firms such as Oliver Wyman, Accenture, Booz, etc.
Recruiting, no matter how good you are, tends to be fundamentally a numbers game, with it just being a question of how many applications--> interviews you have. If you're serious about pursuing something else you should be applying much more intensively than you are right now.
Additionally, have you made sure your resume is in top shape? I don't mean just clean, good formatting; you should make sure that you actually have word-smithed sentences in everything you say on your resume to convey what you picked out of the job and just give off the illusion of extra impressiveness.

an associate who was pushing for me at JPM called me the other day to deliver the bad news that they wont hire me because i'm intl', so i really dont know wat the shit to do, my head is spinning out of control,
