Are summer internship offers to big banks usually conditional on the successful completion of a physical examination (i.e. a check up, not a drug test)?

How exactly would you fail a physical/check-up?
I heard Goldman Sachs requires less than 8% body fat...
I'm expecting an offer, and I have a personal exam in the near future. But I could just take the banks medical exam and not personal one if they are going to make me take one. Kill two birds with one stone. Do they make interns take medical exams, or is that just for FT?
aka "will smoking pot get me fired?" LOL
I'm not referring to a drug test. Just a physical examination. Anyone know?
in my experience they never ask you to take a physical
no physical check up dude. just a drug test.
Medical: expect a colonoscopy and gag-reflex test
these are traits that analysts need to have when getting raped by MDs..
Just the mirror test
they examine your cock and balls while performing a colonoscopy simultaneously, no 6 pack no job..
You also need to have a 10 inch dick and be able to do 50 pull ups and 200 push ups
listen dude this isnt the fucking military...they arent gonna make you duckwalk, hold your hands over your head and then play fuck fuck games with you. they're just gonna piss, blood, or hair test you to make sure you arent a shitbag. after this process you work 19 hours like a zombie and make large amounts of money. that is all.
Common sense is no longer even on the radar when it comes to interviewing candidates apparently
Word, son.
High cholesterol is a nonstarter.
I JUST ABOUT did enough push ups in my test today. Now I'm ready to touch Excel. Phew.
