GS Merchant Bank Question

does anyone know if GS's merchant bank recruits undergrads? If so, how many do they usually take a year? How are their interviews compared to IBD ect?
Thanks

Check out another thread of about GS Merchant Banking on WSO.

Yes and no, they do recruit undergrads but there is no special pool for MBD. They will take a few of the absolute best IBD candidates and offer them MBD positions. This year, I believe they only took 3 or 4 in New York, and the interview process was the same as IBD.
