Goldman Sachs Spring Program - Paid or unpaid?

i know this is a silly question but:

does anyone know if GS Spring Program for sophomores is paid or unpaid? it's the one week program for sophomores.

it'd be great if someone could pls let me know---it's just that because i am not a u.s. citizen, i need to go through a legnthy process if it is a paid internship.

THANKS!

I have my interview next week, so I think that it's unlikely that offers have already been extended. I'd certainly think that it's early on in the process. Hannah29, would you mind PMing me/sharing a little bit about the interview format? I've heard from upperclassmen that it's mostly fit, but I'd still appreciate your input :).

 

hi guys,

newbie here. Just received word I have a first round interview on Thursday. Can someone that went through the process give me some insight into what the interview is like? Thanks.

 

pure motivational + some very basic ques about what do you expect in working on a desk in finance.. easy to go through be honest + show a real interest on doing finance + why you chose GS
