SEO 2008 Program

<p>thanks honey..has anyone had nicole spence…thats who the confirmation lists as my interviewer…or is that different?</p>

<p>question: how do they notify people of acceptance? by phone or by email?..i’ll be out of the country…phone won’t work~~</p>

<p>I just received a call from SEO and was accepted into the Asset Management program!!</p>

<p>Congrats giob700!! Are you going to take the offer? How long do you have to decide?</p>

<p>Makes me nervous every time I hear my phone ring!</p>

<p>Of course I’ll be taking the offer, even though I don’t know which firm I’ll be placed with. I have until the beginning of January to accept, but will accept today.</p>

<p>Congrats giob700!..</p>

<p>Could you say when your deadline is in January? I’m guessing they will give new offers for the spots they haven’t filled on that day.</p>

<p>You said you would accept today, so is it a verbel acceptance??? Or is there some legal paperwork coming in the mail??? or does this happen in January for you??? I’m worried about SEO messing things up (not with giob700) but just in general since if they gave me an offer and i accepted, I will be on the sidelines all spring when IBs are recuriting, and since you’re not commited to a specific firm I would just like to have some hardcopy of the agreement.</p>

<p>btw do you know when firm decisions are made or have you asked???</p>

<p>Keep us updated with all your happenings!!! Like where they put you!</p>

<p>Congrats once again!</p>

<p>The deadline is 3 Jan. I was called and then sent an acceptance letter through e-mail saying:
“Completion of these forms will indicate your official acceptance of our offer by your Enrollment Deadline Date, which is 1/3/2008. After submitting your completed Enrollment Form, you will receive your firm assignment early in the Spring.”</p>

<p>Greetings Everyone,</p>

<p>I know its a little late in the game, but I applied today to the Sales/Trading program before tomorrow’s deadline. Wish me luck! Now the wait begins…</p>

<p>anyone from new york or boston heard back yet?</p>

<p>Hey guys I’m a new member and firstly I want to say congrats to giob700. Well done! I am also interested in the Asset Management Prog. infact I have my phone interview on Wednesday. Any tips giob700? What kind of questions did you get? Thanks.</p>

<p>Thank you, specialmeat62 and to the rest of you. Make sure to stay abreast of the markets and to know EXACTLY why you want to go into AM, and specifically why institutional/private bank. In later interviews, I was asked to create a portfolio of $50,000 for a young and old investor and to explain my general strategy for each. Also, during the last follow-up call, be sure you can recite the avg. dividend yields of the following securities: Google (tricky), Wal-Mart, T-Bill, REIT, and those in the S&P500. </p>

<p>Good luck to you and everyone else! I was told this class will be larger than last years, which is always a good sign.</p>

<p>I had my IT interview in Chicago today. They told me results are out by the end of the month.</p>

<p>Anyone doing IT or interviewed in Chicago heard anything yet?</p>

<p>How did you guys respond to the question “Why SEO?” For my phone interview, I basically said:</p>

<p>-great learning opportunity (seminars, stuff outside internship)
-networking, making lots of new friends
-want to contribute and help others step into banking</p>

<p>Curious how you guys responded to this question. I’m not sure my response was very strong.</p>

<p>Anyone else hear back? I have my phone interview on Monday! Wish me luck!</p>

<p>Anyone NOT get an offer for an interview in NYC/CHI/etc.?</p>

<p>I just received an invitation in my e-mail for the “Round 2 Interview B” I applied for SEO at the first deadline and this is the first phone interview invitation I have received. Anyone else get this invitation?</p>

<p>Anyone know what the B stands for? Thanks!</p>

<p>Congrats guys!! are any of you sophomores who applied?</p>

<p>what type of market questions were asked guys?</p>

<p>thanks giob700, this should go a long way in preparing for the interview! I feel better already. I almost did not apply to the program because I thought sophomores have very low chances of getting accepted, but I figure if I don’t get it this year, next year i will be a miles ahead. Fingers ( and toes! ) crossed!</p>

<p>How long does it normally take between the phone screening and if they tell you your eligible for the in person interview?</p>

<p>I just completed the phone part and feel confident.</p>

<p>they normally tell you at the end of the phone interview if they are going to pass you</p>
