Point72 Summit

Anyone else apply to the Point72 Summit in their HQ office? I just did the Wonderlic test and waiting to hear back. I was wondering if anyone else is in the process. Also, any insights on point72 and the academy from the more senior monkeys on this board? Thanks!

We hear back April 19th, good luck to everyone.

I really like the essay question, it's a very interesting and unique. I'm tired of all those boring generic questions asked in other application processes. I've been thinking of a few ideas over the past few days to answer the essay question and I think I found a winner.

 

Just curious, for those of you that applied what´s your GPA?

Don´t say this in a banking interview: Which superhero would you be and why? I want to be like Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor - me.
 

I have about a 3.7/4. Not sure how much GPA matters though after you make the cutoff. I think its just one component of your application.

 

I got rejected too. Pretty tough competition as they are taking only 25 from canada/us/europe. If anyone got it in it would be great if you could post or pm about your background. Curious to know what kind of calibre candidates got accepted. Best of luck!
