DE Shaw SBD r1?

Is DE Shaw's first round out, or any screening call from recruiters? I submitted with a strong referral and writing for the 2027 SBD role. Any updates are appreciated. I did reach out to a recruiter, but they said it will take time as it's rolling, but I just want to keep this thread to see what's going on with the recruitment
