<p>I'll be damned if it's not 90m/h...what's the answer?...bet mine's wrong...</p>
<p>anyways...I'm begining to doubt what the seo official told me about waitlisted applicants being sure admits later...a lot of my friends are on the waitlist too and the chances seem especially small for sophomores...</p>
<p>I have a feeling waitlist decisions will be out pretty soon though...wish they admitted nine hundred or so instead of four hundred...will have made life a lot easier</p>
<p>i got 90 as an answer as well</p>
<p>which is a more attractive offer- ML or UBS?</p>
<p>Well that depends on what you want to do although ML is bulge whereas UBS is not. I would go with ML, because there are so many scandals at UBS.</p>
<p>In regards to answer 90, that's so not right. Well the first thing my friend did was to say it's not 90, which is right. Haven't you heard of the problem, if a car goes 45 miles an hour on a trip and returns 55 miles an hour, what is its average speed? The answer is not 50.</p>
<p>Anyway, apparently he then tried to figure out the answer to this problem, and after a while just gave up. If the track is 1 mile, and he goes 30 miles per hour, then he finishes the lap in 2 minutes, so speed = time / distance, so 30 = (1/30) / 1. For him to average 60 miles an hour in 2 laps, his speed would need to exactly double, therefore he would have, in 2 laps, needed to spend 1/30 (the same amount of time he took for the first lap). Thus it would be impossible for him to run the 2nd lap and average 60 miles an hour for both, since he already used up all the time on the first lap.</p>
<p>oh yeah! remember that from the sats!
oh wells, I'll stick with ML then--- what other scandals has ubs had...apart from the treasury bills issue?</p>
<p>and everyone has scandals, 'k not scandals, but their own bad stories...heard goldman people tried bribing google executives so they could be the firm of choice for deals..he! I think all IB firms are guilty of shadiness one way or the other- emron exposed them...don't think they've changed much since then...</p>
<p>2006- pays 54 million to settle charges brought by the NYSE and the states of NJ and Connecticut of allowing improper trades by some UBS financial advisors' customers between 2000 and 2002</p>
<p>2005- Loses a high profile sexual harassment lawsuit brought by a former institutional equity salesperson, in which the investment bank was shown to have destroyed key email evidence</p>
<p>2005- several black employees file a class action discrimination lawsuit against UBS in the US</p>
<p>Also, that Aleksey Vayner guy (google him if he's not familar) sent his video to UBS, which for some reason had a security leak that led to all the rage. Anyway, too much UBS drama for me =)</p>
<p>Btw, you got an offer from UBS too? wow thats really impressive.</p>
<p>that brainteaseris straight out from Vault Guide to Case interviews</p>
<p>case interview or finance interview?</p>
<p>hmm interestinggg</p>
<p>@ neilsshah: I didnt edit anything in my letter. and i'm a junior.
@ dpa38d2u: both. they extracted some guesstimates/brainteasers parts of case guide and put them in the guesstimates/brainteasers section in finance guide. same stuff anyway.</p>
<p>dpa: oh yeah, I did--- but I won't take kudos for that one...an alum of my school who's a senior vp placed me in his division...</p>
<p>thanks for the stats...I'll def be sticking with ml</p>
<p>SEO pays interns 1K a week.</p>
<p>If you get into a bank directly, is the pay similar?</p>
<p>ok i just got a phone message from an SEO interviewer asking for a follow-up "conversation." WHAT DOES THIS MEAN and should i be preparing somehow for it? </p>
<p>NOTE: I am a junior applying to investment banking and I was waitlisted after doing an in-person interview in NY in December.</p>
<p>oh wow! good luck- I'll just call back immediately if I were you--- they probably just want clarifications on some areas---</p>
<p>please let us know what they ask during the "follow up conversation"</p>
<p>EECS..: probably; I know goldman pays the same----</p>
<p>i plan on calling them back tomorrow...i fear they'll ask me how many hot dogs were eaten in canada in 2005.</p>
<p>hey bubblymc...how did your conversation with seo go?</p>
<p>i called and left a message, as noone answered. i'll try again tomorrow (Wednesday).</p>
<p>haha i applied to University of Dreams as a joke and got accepted into the New York program. most likely wont do this program though.</p>
<p>I had my phone interview with SEO (Career Program - Philanthropy - Round 3) and I think it went ok. I'm a junior by the way. The lady interviewing me, however, sounded very tired or sad (I'm not sure which one). Maybe it was that she had to interview many others and it was taking its toll on her. Overall I think it went well. Questions asked were, "How did you hear about SEO?", "What past experiences qualify you for the position?", "What's the difference between a non-profit organization and a foundation?", etc. Pretty easy questions, but I must say that she was very deligent with keeping time. She would not let the interview go over 15 minutes. Harsh. What I found out about her is that she did the Career Program in investment banking and worked for Merrill Lynch for 5 years before working with SEO. Another thing she said is that most people working in philanthropy foundations are trying their best to find other jobs (I wasn't quite sure what to make of this, but whatever).</p>
<p>this's gonna be my last post in this thread. i just found out i didn't make it. good luck to all of you who are still waiting.</p>
