Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone has either gone through with the WSO Academy program or has any insights on why or why not they didn't do the program. For context, I'm at an Ivy in econ with zero connections to finance outside of that and I have a couple of days to decide whether or not to enroll in the program. Thanks!
