I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Mar 2014
Interview
I applied with my resume and a Cover letter as a freshman (Late december/early January). I forgot about it until I received a call from someone at the company who wanted to give me a brief run down and answer any questions I had. I didn't know I was actually chosen until I received a call to book my flight for Super day. I flew in, provided my own taxi to the building. I sat and chatted with the 3 other people who were there before we were split up and interviewed. My first interviewer wanted to know about me and the second interviewer asked me the hard hitting questions.
It was a hard interview but that was because I was a freshman and didn't know anything about finance interviews. The experience was one I'm glad I had.
