Hey everyone,
I'm an incoming IB SA26 and was just wondering what the group placement process looks like. Heard it kicks off in the upcoming fall semester and that it's a pretty brutal process with 6 hours of interviews on a given day.
Does anyone have any insights on how the process works?
Any help is super appreciated - thanks so much!
