Just got a second round interview with Morgan Stanley for a summer analyst in NYC but it is the same day I fly out to St. Louis for a leadership conference.
Is it bad to reschedule interviews that take place on superday and does it have any affects on your chances of getting the offer?
-Thanks

rescheduling a Super day Interview
It is possible to reschedule a super day. However, you should only reschedule if you are absolutely certain you can’t make it. If you have a scheduling conflict with a class it’s probably better to miss the class (not considering exams). You can always cover the material you missed at a later date.
You may be at a disadvantage if you reschedule. Consider those other candidates may be filling up open slots before you even interview. But this is not always true as some firms have a certain number of slots for every super day group.
Key Takeaways
- Only reschedule if it is absolutely necessary. They will understand if you have a legitimate reason

I've known some BB's to be flexible with people who couldn't make the specified superday however keep in mind that you'll be at a serious disadvantage.

I have rescheduled a superday before and got the offer.
Is the leadership conf really that important?
I rescheduled and still got the offer. I was even honest and expressed that i was interviewing with another firm. probably a bad idea, but if you are polite and show appreciation, the gate keepers may accommodate you.
Like a couple other posters, I had to reschedule a FT banking superday (for an interview I had already agreed to attend actually) and I'm going to be starting there over the summer. As long as you give them a legitimate reason why you won't be able to make it everything should be fine -- every bank will take at least 'X' number of applicants from every superday.
Worth asking for a different superday? (Originally Posted: 01/07/2015)
I was notified that I've been selected for a JPM SA superday, which will be taking place in NY (a 1 hour flight from my school) next Thurs. Thing is, that's also my first week of class, and I have a feeling I'll be missing more days due to superdays throughout the next month or so. Is it worth asking for an alternative date or am I hurting my chances missing the one I've been given? If anyone has any experience with this, advice would be great.
First week of class is probably the best time to skip, you won't miss much...

Changing Superdays (Originally Posted: 11/22/2012)
How flexible will a firm be if I am unable to make their specified superday- The specific case I am referring to is a bank in Chicago, and I would have to fly in from NYC. Do these places (larger MM firm) usually have multiple or just 1 superday for all candidates? If so, would they ever be willing to let another candidate interview separately?

Why not just ask them if it's possible. Are you 100% unable to make their super day or is it a matter of preference?
I've known some BB's to be flexible with people who couldn't make the specified superday however keep in mind that you'll be at a serious disadvantage. If a firm brings 20 people to a superday looking to hire 5 kids and they have 8 strong candidates then you're kind of screwed. Some firms will simply cancel your superday, others will still interview you (to keep their word) but since they already have their guys/girls (from the 1st superday) they're looking for reasons to ding you so you'll have to really really impress.
Alright, thanks guys. I will just email them after the holidays and say that I am unable to make it and ask if there is any way to do it on another date. In response to the first poster- yes, 100% unable to make it, unfortunately. I'm (not trying to be arrogant) a pretty top candidate for this bank (they've been trying to recruit me since last January), so I am hopeful they will be understanding, but I will let you guys know.
If you're a top candidate, then I'm sure they'll be able to figure something out - and if you 100% can't make it then I guess you have no choice but to ask them about it haha. Good luck and I hope it works out.
Just wondering, if your an out-of-towner do they pay your fare ?
Yes, they'll pay your airfare and hotel room cost if you have to stay the night.
Not sure on paying fares- all they sent me was a very generic email inviting me to come and giving me the day (didn't even tell me the time it started). They asked for an RSVP, so I am assuming they will tell me details when I say I am coming. I know some other banks have paid for transportation, but this firm is a bit smaller, so they might not.
Most banks, especially in larger/HQ offices, have more than one superday, but it may be tiered by schools (i.e. they go to schools A, B, C, and D at the end of 2012 and hold a superday for those schools, and then they go to schools E, F, G, and H in January 2013 and then hold a superday for those schools).
^^ This is what I am hoping. I will let you all know what they say when I email them.
