BMO Diversity Scholarship Capital Markets (IB) Interview

Hey! Just got selected for an interview for the bmo diversity scholarship. Has anyone done an interview with them for this scholarship before and would you be able to share what to expect in terms of the difficulty of the technicals? It's my first IB interview and i'm a little scared! any help/advice is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi sweetapple13, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

Went through RBC diversity scholarship, and I imagine a similar format

1.WSO IB interview prep guide/Vault 400 questions/Wall Street prep, FinMock for flashcards. 

2.Deloitte insight or Market trends/or RBC Economics will help form your questions for 'Market/Warren Buffet type of questions"

I think really the difficulty is I was expected to apply everything I learned in step #1 and explain it through step #2...example case studies, and companies I followed. This of course like most things can be made easier with lots of prep.

I got grilled a bit on how I did a DCF for a project, assumptions and like x amount of years used for DCF for a mining company. Mostly got market-based questions and technical based of my interests. I had an interest in M/A or OG groups so market trends, changes concerning those industries...e.t.c

For Superday interviews, I found a similar format but they dig a LOT more into detail, they asked me lots of follow-up questions that really tested the actual depth of my understanding. 3 separate interviews, each focusing on Valuation, Market, and Behavioural.
