heard back for chicago
Just heard back. Does anyone know if getting an interview is selective?
Would assume it’s less selective than other processes since interviewing is outside to a recruiting firm but probably still a good step.
Does it give you a Superday if you get passed the interview round?
for what office?
SF
Anyone know what previous interviews have been like outside of the info they already sent us?
Did my interview today
any technicals?
Dang, rlly hope it's rolling. Haven't gotten a response yet
Was told in interview today decisions out next week
just got my interview request an hour ago
does anyone know previous interview questions or tips for the prep program?
Hi, I just had my interview. It was very conversational and straight forward. Just be yourself!
Could you please shed a bit more light on it…
how long was your interview?
thank you! by straightforward you mean what you would expect in a first round or just behavioral
Straight up just behaviorals. No technicals at all.
what location?
Has anyone hear back for NY?
bump
yes
Trying to schedule my interview but they only have availability for tomorrow….anyone have this issue?
It’s not an issue, it’s how Dartmouth operates
So does that mean they are booked out for the other times? Or they haven’t posted the later times?
whens the last day of interviews?
Tomorrow
do you remember how long your interview was?
I had mine earlier today. Pretty straightforward, asked why PWP, general M and A trends, time you had to be resilient, and an estimation question. Not sure I did so well specifically due to the general M and A trends question, but fingers crossed.
Anything you woulda said different?
I would’ve done more diligence in understanding current market trends so I could’ve spoken more eloquently. Also prep behaviorals
I received an invite to interview but the meeting link is not in the confirmation email. Where did you guys find it?
I have my interview any a few hours. for those who have already done their interview, what questions where asked
if i haven't heard back yet am I cooked?
Interviews ended last week Friday
when do decisions come out

which office did you interview with
I heard tomorrow not sure if that’s 100% though

Heard back for NYC! Check your portal
Confirmed on portal but didn't receive any emails? Also, is this in-person/selective? I'm non diverse so a little confused.

Bump, does anyone know how many kids they took for NYC?

guess we'll find out at the program
100~ on the mailing list
FT PWP here..Large increase in advisory prep class this cycle due to the SC ruling (meaning there are non diverse kids in this program now). PWP will look to fill 30%-50% of total class through this program. With Superday's starting end of Jan, first week of February if you pass the first round.
has someone heard back from the LA office?
anyone get rejected from SF yet?
for people who have heard back - who interviewed you?
Brandon
Has anyone heard back from Houston?
Houston was weird. I think they only interviewed people that applied through the TPH portal. I initially applied through PWP portal, and it still says submitted now. Applied to TPH portal 2 weeks later and got the interview a few days later. The class is already locked in unfortunately.
I applied for Houston through the PWP portal and received an interview the next day. Never received anything after that though.
Mine still says application received. Anyone else has this? Didn’t get any updates whatsoever
did you receive an interview?
does anyone know when to hear back from first rounds? or when superdays will be?
