Based on the most helpful WSO content, there are several threads discussing the timeline for hearing back from Morgan Stanley for various roles. Here are some relevant points:

  • Morgan Stanley 2022 APAC: A user mentioned applying to MS IB at their HK office in August and noted that it was usually the time for MS to send out their first-round notifications. However, they hadn't heard back yet.
  • Morgan Stanley 2023 Sophomore Investment Banking: Another user applied roughly a month ago, received the HireVue, and hadn't heard back since.

It seems that waiting for a response from Morgan Stanley can take some time, and it's not uncommon for applicants to experience delays in hearing back. If you recently submitted your essay, it might still be within the typical waiting period.

I'm in the same situation here. Also submitted the essay and still haven't heard back anything. Don't want to lose hope but guess I am not shortlisted at list rate. May I know what is your location? I'm in Aus so i don't know if they will out me with US or UK time zone. 

I applied to Singapore office. Do you know if anyone has received the Superday invitation? 

 

I applied to HK office. Guess we're not in the same group...don't know how it works actually. I only know 3 other ppl who applied and they're all still waiting the same. But tbh we're all dry application and very normal resume/gpa so def not a benchmark. Let me know if any update!!
