DE Shaw Fundamental Research Internship Interview and Case Study

Hi all,

Recently applied to DE Shaw's Fundamental Research Internship for 2027 and heard back for the interview. If anyone could shed any light whatsoever on their recruitment process and case study, that would be helpful. I have minimal accounting/financial modelling experience, so I want to know if I should cram financial modelling prep or focus on other areas/topics. I know people are very secretive and hesitant to share, but literally anything would be helpful. Especially if they focus on accounting questions. Thanks!
