Questions About SEO

I know the SEO program has a small team so they don't respond super quickly so I figured I would ask some questions here about the program. I think I got accepted, the wording was a little weird, but it ended with "Based on your profile and/or our initial conversations, we would like to specifically invite you to participate in the SEO EDGE track to explore and prepare for internship opportunities with SEO Partners". My main question is on this website it seemed that a lot of people had to have phone interviews for this position, but I didn't get any information regarding that. I am a little confused if I have been conditionally accepted and there are still steps before I am in the program, or am I fully enrolled now?

I have also been doing networking for the last few weeks or so (mostly at BB), and I was wondering what the placement looks like in these programs is it typically BB or are EB and MM banks included. I mainly want to know so I can diversify my networking plan and cast a wider net than focusing solely on BB like I am currently. If the program focuses mainly on BB internships/interviews I would rather start networking more into the EB & MM areas for internship for SA.

Finally does anyone know the likelihood of getting a first round interview once you are enrolled in a program like this? Is it dependent on your performance in the group or are you virtually guaranteed a first-round interview unless you're not participating in the program at all?

Also in IB you never want to burn bridges so I would suggest to not follow wso2017 and saying stuff he really knows nothing about, he asked me for help yet said SEO was "useless" like I said before I am more than happy to respond and clear stuff up about SEO.
