2017 SOPHOMORE Diversity/Non-Diversity Summer Analyst Recruiting Megathread Page
The general IB recruiting is really useful but posts about sophomore programs get buried so made a sophomore specific thread. Here are some of the sophomore diversity/non diversity programs and recruiting for investment banking and other divisions
-Wells Fargo
-Citi
-JP Morgan
-Morgan Stanley
-Goldman Sachs
-Credit Suisse
-Deutsche Bank
Got accepted to the Wells Fargo Sophomore Diversity Summit
If you don't mind me asking, what's your background? Just curious about what it takes to get into one of these programs...
The program is diversity specific. I'm hispanic. You basically need to be URM, have some reputable grades/activities, and luck.
congrats. If you want to chat about these kinds of programs (I've been to a few) pm me.
messaged you on the chat
I'm applying to the junior year's version diversity forum, can you offer advice on how to write a cover letter?
Heard Goldman's program is still opened
Yeah, I applied a couple day ago. Still opened.
Depends on what you mean by open. The application portal is still open but the bulk of sophs picked to interview did it in like august. I figured I was dinged when I didn't receive anything but I later interviewed for NY IBD and didn't get an offer for soph SA. Right now If you get picked you're competing with the juniors/non-diversity pool so it's a lot tougher. HCM told me that the last IBD wave in NY will be done next month. The other offices may still be looking and that is my hope since I applied to 2 other divisions in a different city. Hence why the applications are still open. BO/MO is still going to be looking later so if you're a soph I'd keep that in mind.
How was the superday? Sucks that you didn't get the offer but getting a superday is a feat in itself.
GreenAttack I had though the JPM soph (I think it's called launching leaders) thing was already over for IBD? No clue about the prospects of getting in through the general app
There was a general sophomore one for AM. I applied with LL but didn't get in.
I got dinged to LL too. My friend said he got a "markets" superday even though his grades were like 3.0 but from a target school.
Does anyone know the timeline for Morgan Stanley sophomore programs. IBD or S&T?
MS has always been slow with me. I applied for their early insight program for freshman year and their rejection email came 4 months after the event.
Some people interviewed in AUGUST!!! They're still looking for Pub fin and capital markets that I know of in NYC. I think they're the snootiest bank on the street because I know a few guys who went to early insights and the AM open house and didn't even get a first round when the target kids with no experience got interviews.
Well shit. I had an alum that is a director who was supposed to be helping me out but things don't look to positive now. Hopefully Citi works out. GreenAttack, same here. MS says that my freshman application is still "under review" like damn at least they could reject me for a program that is over haha.
Ok...might be a stupid question but do Asian Americans count as URM?
technically no but I have seen an Asian diversity event at GS.
Not really but I have seen Asians and white guys at diversity events before. I went to a diversity thing with Barclays before and it was 90% black, hispanic, native american, and women. The rest was asian guys and white guys.
yep I want to kick their ass when I see that. Usually from target schools too.
Please add DB achieve to the list
Added
Application closed yesterday for that so makes no difference now.
What are the odds of an Asian Male but with great grades and HYPSW? Haven't heard back from any of these programs, got referred by analysts at GS, MS and DBAcheive. Giving up about now.. (submitted apps 1 month ago)
I don't really see why you need to cheat the system. You go to a top school where you will have more exposure than you could get from a diversity event.
Got an offer from J.P. Morgan in IBD. Did the Launching Leaders program. Sophomore and I go to H/Y/P/S.
lol congrats though I don't see the need.
Lol what do you mean?
My superday for JP IBD is Thursday. I also went through the diversity application. How was the interview process? Were there a lot of technicals or largely behavioral? I'd appreciate any advice
Also got offers from Wells Fargo IBD and Citi IBD. Non diversity. Applied through a connection.
Had a phone screen with MS IBD yesterday. Have Credit Suisse video interview Monday with S&T and Citi SLP first round phone interview, also with S&T, Tuesday. URM from a target.
Just got invited for a Koru survey from DB? Anyone else get this? Also, congrats to everyone on those insane first rounds, best of luck!
I got an email today saying my superday is next Thursday. My first round phone interview was this past monday.
From JP Morgan*
How does it work? Do you actually have to fly to NYC? Do they pay for it ? Would suck to do wherever-NYC back and forth to "maybe" get an offer....
Has anyone heard from BAML yet? I applied to S&T
I haven't heard back yet from IB but my friend who applied for research got a first round email.
idk which program you're talking about but I got an interview there in August for IBD.

BTW what the hell happened to Barclays sophomore skills? Their application deadline last year was November 22 but it is nowhere on the site. I emailed hr and asked if they're even going to have it this year.
Is that the same thing as the sophomore springboard they have in the spring?
No. It's a 2 day event where you interview for soph SA at the end.
I'm just coming across this thread now.. do you guys think it's to late to apply ??
Check with google but some are still "open"
I cannot find the GS internship, does anyone have a link?
Lmao they're done by now with first rounds.
Has anyone had a first round for BAML? Or heard back about superday?
Are you talking about their global banking sophomore program?
yeah
Received a email from DB Achieve. Doing first round next Monday.
did you get a survey to fill out before?
