Seems like Revolut has a lower intern acceptance rate than Goldman Sachs: Revolut has a lower acceptance rate for its intern and graduate jobs than Goldman Sachs

Of course, Goldman’s internships involve a much wider set of jobs, including some of the less illustrious ones. Makes you wonder what the acceptance rates are like for the really coveted internships in M&A, trading, etc.

I mention BNP Paribas’ Americas internships had a crazily low acceptance rate last year, apparently students were told that as part of the application.

Have any people been told acceptance rates for internships they’ve applied to either for this summer gone or for 2026?

BNP Paribas americas is a tough place to intern with the exception of global banking. Global markets, which used to be the epitome of the hiring pool, is now filled with a cost conscious, high turnover culture. In global banking you can get hired but for low pay.
