What questions did they ask you on HireVue
I completed my Hirevue a couple of days ago and am waiting to hear back.
I have so much respect for women and LGBTQ in finance! So brave!
Why are you seperating LGBTQ and women from everyone else?
It's definitely more accepting today than it ever has been before, but there are still many in the industry who will definitely look down on you your entire career. You legitimately have to be one of the best to be respected as someone who is LGBTQ or a woman. I think you'd be crazy not to have respect for the under represented making it in this field.
That said, I'm still against hiring programs specifically targeting these groups- I think we can work to remove bias without making more bias, but that's just my opinion.
Only got asked one question:
"What's your best advice for incoming college students?"
Legitimately emailed them to make sure it wasn't a mistake.
Yeah I got the same question as well. I completed my Hirevue last week.
Any idea what the timeline looks like, and when we should expect to hear back?
I think we should be hearing back in the beginning of March
Did anyone apply for Morgan Stanley's women's early insight program as well? I found very little information about this program on this forum re when we should start hearing back and stuff like that
Went to the Undergraduate Camp event in Irving, Texas last year. Applied for the New York City event, but got stuck in Irving and didn't really get to meet many Investment Bankers there (they only have Real Estate IB group there, and only we only got to speak with one analyst from the group throughout the entire event). It seemed like they were really pushing us towards back office and technology roles. Really emphasized the whole "Goldman isn't just for finance people". Seemed like a convenient way to keep us all at the back of the bus, but I digress. I got the invitation on April 28th. It was actually pretty selective, and they only took 300 out of 6000 applicants. Nonetheless, I don't think the event was very valuable. Put it on my resume, and didn't even get an invitation for an IBD Summer Analyst hireview with Goldman.
Has anyone heard back about the GS Pride Summit/Virtual Insights 2018? I also did the hirevue question above but haven't heard back yet.
I have not heard anything back by today? Have you?
Shine bright like a diamond, you go girls
Is "date assigned" on the events portal the day that our decisions will come out?
Nope coz my "date assigned" has been changing all the time to today's date...I mean, if today's March 1, it changes to March 1, if today's Feb 28, it's Feb 28...
That makes sense. When I was checking it last night (February 28th) it said the date assigned was March 1st, but it was probably already after midnight in New York.
Does anyone know when we should be hearing back?
Also, how competitive is this program, and how important is GPA specifically? Do you think there is a cutoff, or the higher the better?
Can we start a PM group for people that got invites
For some reason, when trying to open my application page for the Women's Leadership Camp, I get an error ("An error has occurred, page not found").
Does anyone else experience the same problem?
It used to work fine a few days ago.
it happened to me as well. Don't know if it's system problem or they are releasing updates
Ah, good to know it's not just me. They're probably releasing updates then.
I'm experiencing the same issue as well
Does anyone NOT experience this issue?
.
Definitely not. Why not apply to the Women's program? Also is your portal working?
.
As of now, my portal is working. But when I click on the event itself, it says an error has occurred. Hopefully they release decisions soon.
Anyone receive a response to the 2018 Womens Leadership program yet?
Nah
i guess we will hear back by tomorrow it not today
Still no response from Pride Summit. Anybody hear anything yet?
No I haven’t heard yet
I have not heard anything for Pride Summit either.
the fact that they are taking so long to get back is very frustrating, considering we are all students who would have to make academic and work changes to fly across the country for this conference. they clearly know who they want and don't want from target schools and gpas as the interview question they used was such a lightweight question. just rip off the band-aid and make the cuts
Any updates?
None for me for Pride Summit
none for Womens Leadership
Did you apply for NYC or salt lake?
just heard back today, got into the women's leadership camp! it's for their salt lake city location tho
Congrats!! Still waiting to hear back from NY. What time did you get the invite and is it for April 12-13 as well?
Thank you :) heard back around an hour ago. it'll be during the first week of april!
hey deshaw do you think it is better to attend the undergraduate camp or women's summit? as I am still waiting to hear back from the undergraduate camp that is not till later than the women summit. thanks!
Has anyone heard back regarding the NY Women's Camp yet?
for gs - do these diversity summits such as UG camp, pride, womens - are they meant to be pipelines to potentially interviewing for SA 2019 or not?
Still haven't heard back from the Pride summit
.
Congrats! When did you hear back? It seems like they're sending out invites for all programs today
.
hey do you think it is better to attend the undergraduate camp or women's summit? as I am still waiting to hear back from the undergraduate camp that is not till later than the women summit. thanks!
Also, is your portal working when you click on the event? Mine still returns an error... Do they update them when they send the invite?
Also just got an invite for Pride Summit! Does anyone know how many people were selected, do we get placed into division specific networking groups, and do a lot of people get recruited for 2019?
Congrats! For the NY Summit, I'm assuming? What time did you hear back?
Thanks! Yes, New York. Around 3 in the afternoon.
Got my invitation for Women Leadership as well. But unfortunately it's on the same dates as the Moelis one :(
Is it better to attend the Undergraduate camp in may or the women summit earlier?
Appreciate any tips! thanks!:)
have you heard back from the undergraduate camp?
.
Same thing happened to me freshman year, and I was also strong and from target. I reapplied this year and got in, so don't get discouraged because they are probably mainly looking for sophomores for that year's summer recruiting. I'd definitely keep networking and just apply again next year; you'll be stronger next year than your peers since you applied this year and your name is on their radar.
.
Same here. Freshman from target school with 4.0 GPA.
Thanks for the encouragement, alevy396. Will definitely reapply next year.
are these programs only for diversity candidates?
Did people get the question sent in the email before the hirevue like last year because I didn't
.
.
haha they sent an email like 5 mins after you posted this
.
.
okay thanks!!!! So you think the pride summit/ GS Camp/ and the womens day would all help with super day interviews?
is it better to attend the GS womens camp / the pride summit / or the UG camp? Does it matter or are they all equally important/impactful for securing an early interview? yxxwww
does anyone want to start a groupme for people going to the womens camp???
@ngreenbanker2" yxxwww @PDW618" @alevy396" @throwaway2882" @dradz100" @HadToChange" ykbn
Hey, I just got an invite for Hirevue for the 2018 UG Camp. Is there any chance you could tell me what they asked in the Hirevue interviews? Nervous they are going to ask an unexpected question.
Thanks!
I just got a Hirevue as well. Any idea why we received it so late?
@354231"
I applied in the last week of the deadline, honestly wasn't expecting anything because I thought it was already too late. So I am surprised they extended a Hirevue interview.
When did you apply for it?
@354231" @dan95" Clubbing baby seals
I got it as well! Did you guys do it already yet?
Nope not yet. Got another email today though that says its only one question.
Do you know if they give Hirevue interviews to everyone?
Yeah, I did it already. Wasn`t too bad.
What questions did they ask you?
How long did it take?
Testing testing 123
Hi everyone! I got a HireVue as well. Any insight on what the question is?
I just finished it. My question was very simple, it was the classic "why finance and why are you interested in it"
Its literally only 1 question.
Thank you!
Just curious, has anyone gotten invited to the Undergraduate Camp?
Just did the interview, not bad at all
Hello! Just out of curiosity, what question did you get?
What percentage of applicants do you think will be accepted for the undergraduate camp?
From what I heard it's super selective because they only end up taking like 5 - 20 kids. I don't know if that is true though, if anyone from previous years can confirm that would be great.
Damn that sucks
lol
Has anyone else received their acceptance email for Undergraduate Camp yet? I received mine for Salt Lake City.
Congrats!
When was your Hirevue interview? Did you receive a Hirevue Interview in the last weeks of April as well or did you apply earlier?
I haven't heard anything yet.
I applied in January, but I didn't complete my hirevue interview until mid-April.
I received my Undergrad Camp acceptance today for Dallas, TX.
Congrats! May I ask when your hirevue interview was?
Congrats!
Just got accepted for the Undergraduate Camp in their New York office!!
Congrats!
Did you guys get an email?
Checked spam and everything but no email for me. I guess its pretty much a rejection though. Hbu?
Same, didn't get anything back yet. Probably a rejection I'm assuming.
I think they are waiting until around May 1 to send out all the emails because the email I received gave us until April 30 to reply back confirming attendance.
Got it. Guess the ones who didn't get it are those that are currently on a wait list huh
Accepted to undergrad camp in NYC
Accepted as well
Any rejections or notices from anyone?
Nope, they will probably come out tomorrow since people that received acceptances have until the end of today to RSVP
just got another email about flight and hotel reservations for those who are still waiting
Same here. Did they send you the information on the AMEX card as well?
Did any of you indicate that you already have an offer elsewhere?
yes but I'm having trouble with the street address portion because it won't let me type of the whole street - I'm guessing there's a character limit
I got the acceptance email but not the email to book my travel, yikes lmao
It took them three business days to send me the travel information after the acceptance email.
Did anyone get an actual rejection ?
Just got rejected
Haven't heard back
Did anyone else get a blank email? I checked the portal and there weren't any updates there either. It still says "Status - Under Review"
I checked my portal and it says error when I got the event page but my application says "under review". I got a blank email also
Hmmm any thoughts on what we should do? At this point, I'm pretty sure I've been rejected haha
Yeah I just got the blank email. IDK what it means
Did anyone else have an issue with not being able to select seats for their flight on the travel@mydesk site?
did somebody ask about the street address on the american express website not fitting?
yes the person said to abbreviate your address as there's a character limit but I just put it in the rush justification and the person said it's fine
does anyone know how helpful attending this event is for summer analyst positions
I was told that you won’t know until the camp whether you’ve been selected to interview
thanks! who said&how are they choosing who gets one?
Anyone get insight series?
Has anybody picked their flights for salt lake city and got either one cancelled or not yet issued? Or received an email about the amex card?
