what I know about the non-target students, if your first one is with a recruiter, they are much more fit-oriented and definitely just to see where you would fit in best. Then they would pass you along to any alums from that school to also have a few interviews. This is considered your first round and is formal, but at the same time isn't (not similar to the first rounds given to targets). Basically, if HR and your alums think you're competent enough, they send you to the 2nd round/Superday. This is according to my buddy whose a 2nd year from a large state school.

 

Should i mention that I want to be in S & T, during the "tell me about yourself" question or should i wait until they ask me what division i'm interested in?

 

i have a final round interview coming up with lehman with a svp. i know from reading this forum that the interviews with more senior bankers are usually less technical and more "fit" type questions. can anyone confirm this from a past experience with an interview from a senior banker at lehman brothers?

 

In my case, interviews with senior VPs have been more fit versus technical. Not sure if you can make this assumption for all. Overall Lehman had been the most "fit"/qualitative whereas on the opposite end of the spectrum, JPMorgan had been the most technical and quantitative.

 

ranger, in your first sa interview did they ask you which area you wanted to intern in?

And if they did is that the field you're having your final round for?

 

no they didn't. i think i mentioned in my cover letter (applied online) that i wanted corp finance in hong kong. all my interviews so far have been with people in the corp finance group. they also told me that as a corp finance intern, i'll be a generalist so i'm not interviewing for any specific industry or product groups.
