Lastly, there was a luncheon with staff and senior associates. This again
is informal. My advice would be yourself. I didn't end up getting the
position even though I felt I interviewed well, so it is a competitive
process.

 With KPMG, it was a long shot for almost everyone in the first place if you didn't do an internship with them. Over 90% of their new hires came from interns last year.

soc- Where did you find that information?

Are there strict percentages on the amount of applicants will pass through the second round?

I had my phone interview last week. They are supposed to have one other
interviewee, but it will be in person. Does anyone think that my chance are
significantly less due to the fact that I did not get the chance to have an in
person interview?

It depends on how well your interview went. Did they specifically say that there is only one position for the both of you?

I don't think you are at a disadvantage just because you had a phone interview.

Hope everything turns out well for you.

I thought the interview went well, but I think I missed out on that chance to
make a connection with the interviewer that is only really possible in a face-
to-face meeting. The interview was strictly business. I usually try to find
some non-business topics that I can bull*removed* with the interviewer about, but
I failed to make that connection.

And there is only one spot for the two interviewees. So I guess I can hope
the other candidate just sucks.
