BAML Sophomore GBAM Program

Have any of you monkeys been through the program? If so, what did you think of it? If not, have you heard of the program and is it well know on the Street? What sort of hours/tasks can you expect as a sophomore analyst?

Thanks in advance -
Trent

Heard back today for a 1st round

I got an email today stating that my application is under review.

When did you receive the email that your application is under review?

And is the 1st round for this program usually on the phone? I would much rather have it in-person.

Thanks!

 

Received the "under review" email as well. Has anyone received rejection emails yet? Also when is the first round being held?

When did you apply for the program?

I applied a few days before applications were due and that's why I think it is under review this late.

 

I received an under review email after I received email that I got a first round interview via phone...a bit confused. Should I be concerned? Also applied very close to deadline.

 

We can gain a new perspective if we know which position you guys applied for. This way, we will be able to see if BAML is assessing applications position-by-position or not.

I applied for an S&T position.

 
Undervalued

Applied to S&T and heard back 12/2 first with the "under review" email and following it the 1st round interview for this month.

Did you receive both emails ("under review" email and 1st round email) on the same day?

 

Got my email on 12/18, but just had my phone call today for Capital Markets. Normal behavioral/resume stuff. Good luck ya'll.

I had my phone interview for IB and it was pretty technical, but I think I did well. I am still waiting to hear back about the superday which they said was going to be on January 14th. I have not heard anything back from them, so either they moved the superday or I just did not get it...

Did anyone explicitly get rejected for S&T after the phone interview. I had one and didn't get invited to the super day people have been mentioning in this thread; that's probably the only one and means it's over, right?

 

Not much is different. Instead of 9 weeks in one division(1w training), you spend 4 1/2 each on the S&T side and IBD side. Instead of aiming for return offer for FT, you aim for return offer for the following summer.

thepmanMr. V, have you gone through the program? or just speaking from basic knowledge?

I did the program. PM me if you have any other questions.

A good friend of mine did the program and recently signed at GS. Out of the program, most of the kids end up staying at BAML. However, those that try to go elsewhere end up doing well. If you do well in the program, it's great. You get great exposure to both IBD and S&T. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions. I know a few people that did the program.
