SA26 Results - Non-Trad Background

I received an offer at BB/EB last month and wanted to share my stats. I'm a history and phil major at a semi-target on the west coast. Had no previous finance experience and only recruited for one bank. One of my friends was recruiting for the firm and convinced me to do it too for fun. Didn't take it super seriously, but definitely grinded behaviorals/technicals when I received my SPD offer. No family connections and not a diverse applicant.
