True. It doesn't make the choice to go there any less valid though. I like that Macquarie takes more people simply for the fact that there's going to be more interns and young people around. Hey, it's the only offer I got, but since I'm not penultimate, I can wait until next year to fight it...

I'm not sure about the Retail/Institutional banks, but for Investment Banking, they're generally looking for honours or double-degree students. Yes, work-experience is important, but if you don't have the benchmark grades, you're not going to even get a first-round interview, unless you have...

leoyh, it's fantastic that you're interested in IB, but you really do sound like you're just parroting what you've heard from other people about Banks and Mac. Yes, Mac isn't as big globally as some of the Wall Street or Swiss Banks, but how are you qualifying that the others are necessarily...

Property, and you?

KPMG are running assessment centres starting from mid-August, and will keep running them every week until they fill all positions. That's why they don't have a closing date. Get in as early as possible with your application for the best shot at it.

I had my final-round with MacCap Advisors last Tuesday and got my offer on Wednesday. Questions they asked: - Resume based: experiences, difficulties, work and uni society experiences, etc - Why IB? Why I chose my degree - What deal/financial news had I been following or found...

I did philosophy this year, and there are around 50 of us in Philosophy, much less in Cosmology and only a few in Comparative Literature. I was "the girl who didn't accelerate", but that's not entirely true either. I accelerated in 4u maths and 4u English at my old school, but because I...

Big group of us (around 40 altogether in houses) going up from 12th-17th

FINISHED. AAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhh Goodbye symbolism Goodbye conics Goodbye binomials Goodbye Le Chatelier and his principle Goodbye Einstein and Lenz and Faraday and Newton. WOOO-fucking-HOOOOO

I think at most a few people went to the toilet. In the trials, in the last 1 hour or so practically the whole grade got up at one point or another just to take a break because we were allowed to leave. Today I was only aware of a few people getting up (But I guess I wasn't really counting)

I haven't checked! I didn't bring my exam paper out with me (I keep leaving it on my desk) but I hope I did alright with it. I bet you did well. Just one more to go. Physics and then woooooo

14.79 (wel 14.8 basically), same method as Xenocide. It's the last value in my calculator and still shows up when I press "Ans" =P
