Point72 Academy Virtual Intensive 2022

Point72 Academy released a virtual intensive program for current juniors graduating in 2023. Application due 10.17, but was wondering if anyone who applied has heard back, and any historical info on this program! Do they hire from nontargets? is networking a significant part of admission?

They took their first virtual intensive class last year. They took 6 people(3 MBA students and 3 undergraduate with 2 coming from non-targets). As far as I know no one received the full-time offer but it was a great experience.

My friend and I both received the survey so we think it's likely automatic. Hope someone can confirm
