When you are apply for the PWMA program, you can only pick 3 iBanks/Banks, and here’re some tips for your strategies setting:
▶️At least pick one bank that’s easier to get into (like Dah Sing and LGT), so you have a safety net built for yourself!
▶️Credit Suisse only accepts applications from Y3 students - if you are in your second year now, plz don’t apply
▶️Expect for Credit Suisse, all other banks/IB target Y2 students, but PWMA is getting harder to break into, since a lot of Year 3 students would pretend to defer and make applications
▶️UBS will have ard 10+ headcount reserved for the PWMA program, but it doesn’t mean that it’d be easier to get into UBS through PWMA; since basically all PWMA applicants would choose UBS
▶️For other banks, like SCB, Julius Baer, GS & LGT will have ard 3-5 headcount each, so the difficulties depend on the brand names: UBS, GS > SCB, LGT, Julius Baer > BOC, Dah Sing
