For those of you who are soooo curious, here’s the score so far (YES i hav NO life!):
BNP: 3
UBS: 4
Zurich: 7
Westpac: 7
QBE: 0
This includes ppl that hav shared wat their friends at school got, not just themselves.
Wow good work haiderr. Hmm the QBE thing does seem odd. Perhaps they really cut it down to a short list. Has anyone heard from Zurich yet? I haven't gotten anything :/

Its been over 24 hours since someone replied to this thread lol. I'm guessing the companies haven't contacted you then?

And Karnage that's very unfortunate. Hopefully things will work out for the best!

No he doesn't Ovaschool does 2 unit.

I would assume that they'd call us, the accounting firms called me so I suppose once you get to the interview stage it would be a standard practice anywhere in the corporate world to call to negotiate an interview time.

To the BNP Paribas candidates who got replies: Did you get phone calls or emails?

During the first interview Alister said Westpac have cadetships available in Wollongong, City and regional areas. So I guess that explains why the count is 8 on here so far.

I think chances would be pretty good. It would be stupid to take so many shortlisted people from the first round if they weren't serious about offering. Also, they wouldn't bother paying Professional Business Cadetships for their work if they just took whoever for interviews. I guess its hard to tell though cause we have no idea about how many Cadetships there actually are for each company. But as I said before there are about 2 or three locations for Westpac Cadetships so there must be at least one per location, if not more.

Also, I go to a private school in the Sutherland Shire region.
