<p>Lol not bad.</p>
<p>I go to Emory.</p>
<p>Did you interview in NY back in November?</p>
<p>No, I interviewed in Atlanta.</p>
<p>"Those of you that got firm placement, Did you get firm placement at somewhere you applied to and got rejected from? Or did you get placed somewhere you didn't apply to. Congrats, btw" </p>
<p>anybody? thanks! still waiting as well...</p>
<p>Wow congrats to everyone, seems like today was a big day for a lot of people. I m still waiting!</p>
<p>I m thinking they announced the all the individual bank interns at once and today SEO did Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, Barclays, Deutsche Bank. So the banks that are left are Bank of America, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Lazard, Merrill Lynch, and UBS!!!</p>
<p>Truzilla, from my understand it’s still possible for SEO to place an intern in a bank that previously reject him/her although some banks have a strict policy to not accept previously rejected student and I m sure SEO would rather place you in a non rejected bank.</p>
<p>BTW anyone get research or know anyone who is doing research??? I have not heard of a single soul!</p>
<p>Lyna, SEO told me I would be doing the "sophomore rotational program" at Lehman Brothers...so dell and I might be a in different program.</p>
<p>mdade, SEO placed me at a firm that I did not apply to.</p>
<p>and dell--they told me the internship starts on the 19th but I have to get there early for orientation and training. i guess i will wait for lehman's call for more details</p>
<p>I'd also be really interested in knowing if anyone has been placed into a firm that previously rejected him/her. Do you guys think that the most likely scenario is that they place you into a firm to which you didn't apply?</p>
<p>Also, do you really think they're doing this in chunks according to firm? I don't think we can say that Lehman et al are done and only the other ones are left.</p>
<p>I think that is a reasonable assumption. They aren't doing alphabetically or based on what division you are working in, so it is safe to say they are probably doing it based on specific banks. I'm also guessing that you land at one of the partner firms you did not apply to.</p>
<p>Dell, I thought you might have interviewed in NY with me because I met a guy from Emory who interviewed that day too. We were super nervous lol</p>
<p>Pattycakes, I think I know what you're talking about now and I don't think we're in the same program. Most of the banks have a "sophomore rotational program" which basically just gives sophomores a feel for the industry. Since I'm a junior I think I'm just a regular intern on the sales desk/trading floor. </p>
<p>Either way, the summer for all of us is gonna be sick!</p>
<p>Hey HarvtoWall, a friend got accepted to JPmorgan too, im not sure if they are doing it by banks, i dont want to go to Bofa :(</p>
<p>damn, I m hoping I am wrong then, JP was one of my top three picks, hahaha. But I still think it makes sense given that for example Morgan Stanley was announced for both S&T and CF today. It has to be done in some order, probably when the finalized list from each HR is sent back to SEO.</p>
<p>I dont want to go to BofA or Citi :-( after that I would def take anyone that's remaining!</p>
<p>Good Luck tomorrow!</p>
<p>Harv, I'm totally with ya. I hope they're not done announcing JPM.. let's keep our fingers crossed!</p>
<p>I think you guys are being so silly! I wouldn't be picky about going to any of these banks. I seriously had no preference. lol.</p>
<p>I have a lot of preferences for banks, there are banks that are not doing really well and might have future layoffs, thats why I have a preference. Harvtowall what is your top 3? Mine is MS,GS,JPM,Lazard and no's Citi,bofa</p>
<p>I think that even if you go to a bank that's not in your top list of preferences, it'll still be a great stepping stone for getting to the bank you really do want to go to. We get to interview with all the banks at the end anyway so thats why I didn't have a preference. My friend did GCFL last year and now she's with Morgan Stanley. Plus, if banks are going to lay people off it probably wouldn't be the analysts because we cost the least and are the future of the firm. They'd probably lay off associates. lol.</p>
<p>yeah i kinda care where i land because i'm hoping to just get an offer this summer and lock it up. also some bank pay more than others and have higher retention rates/ lower layoffs etc</p>
<p>KingKongBanker I would say Lehman, JPM, and GS. Not only bc they are great firms but also the people and culture.</p>
<p>To mdade113's point, I am worried since some banks are laying off people or cutting back on new hires. I feel if I m forced to take my chances to this fall full time recruiting it will be impossible to break into many of this banks due to the soft market. From my understanding, the % of their full time hires coming directly from SAs will increase. Ideally, others and I would like to start at the place we prefer.</p>
<p>Hey I got Lehman S&T. I hear Lehman ends around July 11th (since it is only 8 weeks) so what is everyone doing for the rest of the summer?</p>
<p>hey patty,</p>
<p>my room mate is also a sophomore doing ib corporate finance with lehman. Right now, we are scheduled to live in Water Street NYU dorms.</p>
<p>I got scheduled to work with Barclays, and their offices are far from Water Street.</p>
<p>Do you know what Lehman office you will be working in? Also, do you think its possible for to change the NYU dorm assignment? I only picked water street because it was close to wall street, I guess its not practical if I am not working near there.</p>
