Did you have BD and then pushed to Wonderlic/FCAT or other way around
yeah i was referred by an associate so went directly to the bd call which was like a wk before applications were released. so after i applied i got the wonderlic/fcat immediately
What are the vibes for BD calls? Is it purely behavioral?
How long do they give you to complete the two? Also is the fcat just 45 mins right?
1 wk to complete both and yes, the fcat is 45 mins
Ok cool ty. Is the model just the three statement with like the historicals already filled in and a plug and play or dy need to do like rev build and stuff? And was the wonderlic the standard 50 qs in 12 mins?
Ik from a bd call that after the fcat and wonderlic there's two rounds with the investment team to gauge stock picking ability and fit/interest if that helps.
Did u network like way earlier? I only just applied lol is it cooked for me.
mid-april is when i started networking and met the person who referred me
How long after you apply did you get wonderlic / model test?
depends on ur process some immediately apparently some a few days etc etc
is it cooked if I feel I generally got everything and it looked right but my balance sheet didn’t balance fully? On FCAT
Nah, just have to get a certain store
where did u hear this? asking bc i'm in a similar boat, feel like i aced the bd call and wonderlic, and did everything with basically 99% accuracy other than the fact that my b/s didn't balance (something that could've been fixed in like 2 more mins had there not been a 45 min limit)
PM whos involved
any word on next steps in process? i think someone on here said that there would be a round with investment professionals (not sure what the content is or how many interviews and how long in this round... assuming stock pitches and then grilling and general market knowledge). and then final round is w the head of the program mainly assessing fit? (not sure how long this one is either
$10 venmo
Do you know if they give out offers before their summer program is over?
update on this - yeah you're fine just got the next round
How long after u completed everything did u hear back? Also last question on modelling but what schedules did they make you build out (rev build, ppe schedule etc)?
what kinds of schedules did u need to build for the fcat?
Bro just do it yourself
Haven't networked but have perfect resume (RX, HF etc, Target), bit confused on timelines here and if I should ping my network asap.

Any news on any process? Post FCAT and wonderlic
BD rounds have started rolling out
any insights? what did they ask on the BD round? Thanks!
is fcat and wonderlic selective
What's the caliber they're looking for when giving out interviews? Does it have to be top BB/EB or would they be open to more "non-traditional" backgrounds like UMM PE/MF Credit SA?
I'm interning at a mid-tier BB on M&A team and got an R1. I doubt a non-traditional name-brand buyside background would hurt you
Cheers
did you network? at a top BB and haven't heard anything yet.
Can you use all the excel formulas on FCAT?
no
Took the fcat/wonderlific late last wk and got a BD interview this morning
Does anyone have any insight into what the BD round looks like? I'm assuming I don't need to do stock pitch prep for that one specifically?
