Okay seriously no more sophomores and no more people who just got FT offers from their summer internship posting their FT application stats. Post your SA application stats if you got a FT offer from your summer position!

I ended up taking my FT offer from the same firm. I applied to only a few firms because I knew that I wanted to be in a specific city

wow people don't send out as many applications as I thought they would... and this is pretty helpful because it lets you see where people stack up... what kind of stats they have, what kind of effort they are putting in and how successful they are.

nah it's for anyone with applications, we should have a break down of applications to applications/1st round/waiting/offers

Actually, his OP states he wants to hear from people with offers. Read before posting?

Let me also share this. I have a pretty decent background, but the same banks NEVER gave me an interview, not in my entire life: Deutsche Bank, Nomura, BNP, Barclays, Lehman (yeah I am old enough ;-) ).

Btw, given the number of x/1/1, we can consider ourselves lucky. It really is a numbers game.

What is the difference between a "medium" and "good" gpa? Wouldn't it be better for people to list what they listed as the GPA on their resume? Or at least a range?

of Botique applications/1st round interviews/offers: something like 40-50 / roughly 15 / 1

the offer I got was from a firm where they had a list of current staff. one was from my school, so I emailed the person asking if they had a few minutes free time to talk about their firm. this unexpectedly turned into a 2 on 1 full blown phone interview. 2 weeks later, got invited to their superday, and I got the offer the following morning. networking works. there is also unfortunately a great deal of luck involved in the recruitment process.
