What is your overal opinion of these programs and certifications?
How are they viewed on the Street?
Should they be highlighted in the resume and interview?





bump
I go to a target school, but won't have learned the necessary valuation techniques by the time I am interviewing for summer analyst positions.
what kind of valuation and other finance knowledge are you expected to have for summer analyst interviews?
should I invest in one of these programs or is there something else I should do?
depends
if you have an undergrad business program, then you are going to need to know some finance (i think vault's guide to ibanking interviews should suffice). Most of the questions will just be like "how does a rise in XXX, affect the 3 financial statements?"
If you don't have undergrad business, then your interviews (if you play them right) will be entirely about fit.
