Bump
I did it last year, pretty sure everyone gets accepted unless maybe you are really bad, it's pretty useless though
I just got invited to it. Should I just decline to join the program then? It doesn't add any value and give you priority for GS recruiting right?
declining might look bad, just dont say anything but dont show up
I got the same exact notification. However, they sent a follow-up email to disregard that, and they would be communicating an update on the status in April.
pls don't post this on ur linkedin
LMAOOOOOO
Hi guys,
Got the same mail as you. Wanted to know if it is useful on CV to show interest or not.
if you have no other financial experience then yeah throw it on until you get an internship. if you have anything actually meaningful then fuck no. it obviously shows some interest but it's probably more so something to mention in an interview or over the phone rather than banking on that to push your resume through. take that as you will, insights from a prospect lol, although in my experience events like that tend to serve best as conversation points and answers to "why us?" "why ib?" - has worked for me at least
It says on the GS portal that my status is "RSVP - No," which is super confusing. Does anyone else have the same status?
Mine says "RSVP-Yes"
Does that mean you're selected??
Has anyone received any email from HR yet? From my GS portal it says "RSVP- yes" but when I clicked into the event it says "it does not exist". Is the program still up lol?
Some people apparently got accepted today - saw on LinkedIn
Omg i got nothing yet... do they accept on a rolling basis?
Got my acceptance today
Likewise ^
bump, same here. does this mean we got dinged?
same here, got nothing yet
The people that got accepted today to the 2021 Spring Virtual Insight Series were the candidates that did well in the 2021 Possibilities Summit and were invited to the Virtual Insight Series as a follow-on event.
So do you know when everyone else will get notified?
Sorry I don’t, I suppose people will be hearing soon since the event kicks off in early May
did anyone have hirevue for this or is it just resume screening
Did you get hirevue? Or are you just simply inquiring if anyone gets a hirevue? (starts panicking lol)
didnt get one either but apparently no one around me was invited for one haha but i heard there was one for 2020 program
It's April 27th, still haven't received any notification from Goldman...
Same lol it seems everyone still got nothing yet
Did a rough search on Linkedin, nobody posts anything about being accepted into this program. Probably the recruiting team is gonna push the decision date to the very end of April...
bump
Still nothing..
Are they even doing the program this year?
Fine... I'm about to lost my patience. What is going on?? :((((
Guys, I just sent an inquiry email to the recruiting team. And their automatic reply email said, quote "Insight Series selections will be released in early May." Hope it helps!
Lmao so basically the day of the first event smh
Isnt the first event on May 3 at 9am? lol
Anyone got an update?
Nope nothing...
has anyone heard anything??
Nope, still nothing, and I applied in February
OMG I just got the invite email!!
Can you describe what your candidate portal looks like now?
Anyone have an update?
I emailed a rep in HR on May 3rd still no response. My guess is that their still going through apps.
Did people actually hear back? Only thing I heard was on this thread (@streemonkey1) but haven't heard anything else.
Decisions are out
^^
Just got an invite for this, forgot I’d applied. Does anyone know if there is a chance to interview for 2022 at the end of the program or?
Pretty sure they accept everyone
I got in! It says they received over 10,000 applications. Does anyone know how competitive this is?
But they don’t say how many they accepted out of those 10,000….
Do you know what time the live sessions will be at?
Just saw the mail. They make it seem like we're 'chosen' but I dunno
Yeah I don't trust how selective it is at all. It says they reviewed 10,000 apps but who knows if they took all of them lol
can anyone make a groupme for this or is there already a groupme?
Did you end up finding or making a GroupMe? Would definitely be interested in joining the chat group
Link below
Is this program even worth it? just trying to boost my resume.
Worth it for answering technical questions and potentially for the interview process itself. Would say it is worth it, but not resume worthy or a linkedin flex that should be put out considering most applicants get accepted (I think based on consensus)
Got an invite just now. What exactly do we get from this program?
Wondering the same thing.
Same. I don't know if I just decline to do it lol. Seems like a waste of time and a bs participation type deal where everyone gets it.
Same just got invitation! is it smth we can flex? lol
did anyone get rejected
I feel like it doesn't make sense that they take so long with reviewing the apps if they're going to accept everyone, but it also could be a marketing strategy to play on the exclusivity of the company
yeah I feel like if over any number over a hundred got in, it'll have little to no impact on applications, but who's to say
Looking at previous years threads seems like everyone and their mom gets in tbh
Just got the invite, (apparently out of 10,000 applicants). Does anyone know if this results in an accelerated interview process?
Is it flex-worthy on LinkedIn?
No.
Does anyone know if this helps your chances at GS? specifically IB
Bump if it doesn't I might as well decline the invite and save myself 2 hours a week lol
I am finishing up my sophomore year and was placed into the sophomore track-- is this the right one? or should I be in the junior track?
I am finishing my sophomore year but I've been put for Junior Track
Would someone kindly set up a GroupMe for this
bump. take one for the team and drop the link
ive been trying, wso won’t let me post the link?

hm im finishing my freshman year and was put on the first-year track so
Anyone get denied from this? I got an invite and wondering if it helps at all.
No one seeming to answer if this makes a difference at all
Got accepted also, following
Got invited just now! I'm in the Junior track ^^
just got invited for the sophomore track.... it seems like everyone got in lol. is this worth flexing at all? :0
.
Same happened to me....was this sorted out for you?
Well I didn’t get an email so I’m guessing they rejected me lol
They do come out in waves tho
For current freshman this won't mean much right
Got the invite. Anyone know if its worth it? Also did anyone make a group me?
Same question. Does this add any value at all in GS recruiting? You a sophomore right
the link isn't working for me ://
The email said it was from diversity recruiting, but I'm non-target and non-diversity. Current sophomore. Am I not supposed to be in the program if I'm not diversity? Also, is this program even worth it to do? Does it give you any advantage during GS recruiting this summer?
To everyone asking questions in this thread: no it is not flex worthy. From my experience last year, there were easily 700+ students in those zooms, not selective at all (or even diversity exclusive). Please DO NOT make huge LinkedIn posts about getting in or put it in your work history. It’s really cringe. Like really, really cringe.
For freshmen: it’s basically useless. That said, it's not a huge time commitment so just put it on mute in the background. You can create a line item at the bottom of your resume that goes “exploratory programs: Goldman Sachs Summer Insight Series, Citi Early ID” if you do enough of these programs to warrant mentioning.
For sophomores: there’s a resume drop at the end of the 2 months that feeds into super days. No idea how competitive it is, but I’m pretty sure your chances aren’t great in a pile of 1,000 candidates.
For juniors: there’s a junior track? I didn't even know and am unfamiliar what the perks are… maybe chance at full time recruiting?
Source: did it last year and got into it again this year but will not be participating since I already signed with GS/MS/JPM IBD.
Me: running to LinkedIn to delete delete delete delete
Good haha. Save your reputation. Don't be cringe like these kids I saw make posts earlier from NYU or Georgetown.
I've been put on junior track
