For Rising Sophomores (Soph SA programs)

Put this together, LMK if anything is off:

From my understanding (for IB and Capital Markets, not sure about S&T):

GS: Very lowkey about soph program and take ~20 kids for IB (classic and financing, know from former soph SAs). Believe they are still recruiting but you need to have some kind of "in". Not sure about S&T.

MS: Most sophomores positions full from freshman enhancement program and from main portal recruiting. One insider says 4 open spots for their GCM division and I'd guess there are

 

Do you have any information on how people apply for these limited spots?

 

Did bofa SD last week for soph SA…check in lady said about 150 total checked in for BofA interviews

Edit: thought you asked how many, my bad

 

How friendly is the Citi Sophomore program for non-diversity kids? I am currently at a target with solid boutique IB work experience and a 3.7 gpa. If I network, will I at least get a fair shot at getting in or does the program limit their applicants to diversity only? Thanks.

 

DB conducted a feeder program a few months ago that was specifically meant for soph SA recruiting

 

Jpm application falls under normal S23 app if you ar not diversity you will be promptly denied
