Had the standard GS SD (20 min x 3), and did amazing on rounds 2 and 3 (which had the group that I ranked of my top choice). Did awful on round 1 (which had the 2 groups I ranked lowest). Auto rejection?

Hey congrats on the SD! Was wondering about the format of them. Heard it was 2/3 behavioral and one of the interviews are just techs. Is this true? If so how technical was the interview? Thanks so much and good luck!
depends on ur interviewer tbh, mine was basically all technicals + market questions. i think i got asked one behavioral total.
Curious about specifics - can I pm you?
High likelihood you get rejected or put on hold / wait-list
