I applied to one of the BBs for a freshman program (yes they have them trust me) and I have a phone screen on Friday.
It is with an S&T analyst.
What should I expect and how can I prepare for this.
I know there are other questions on this forum similar to this but my situation is different as a freshman.

I had two of these about a month ago with a BB for a similar program. The first one was basically a conversation. The second one was an actual interview(fit and technical questions). I'd recommend studying a little bit and being prepared for basic tech and all fit questions
You're a freshman and they asked you technical questions? How technical?
I'm a sophomore. But yes they asked basic technical questions like the three financial statements and different types of valuation. I wasn't expecting it either...
Wow alright thanks. I guess I have a few days to study basic technicals which shouldn't be too difficult. Did you get your position?
No problem. And don't know yet I have a superday next week. I'm guess messing up some technicals isn't considered that bad for freshman/sophomores
