how selective is point72 case study invitation?

title; i’m nervous about this as i’ve never built out a model. if most people are moved to this stage, im not sure if its worth my time during finals or if i should try anyway. for context this is the full time 2026 academy, i have an upcoming buy side internship but literally 0 finance experience as of right now
