What's up apes. For those going through the process of FT IB recruiting, anyone applying to Stephens? Scrolled through last year's threads and seems like it's a bit of a long process, with SDs occurring in September? Thought I could start this for us to share intel.

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

Stephen who? Hawking? I think he passed a while back sadly

Anyone heard back from them yet? I had a first round 1-2 weeks ago but haven't heard from them since then.
I heard back ~10 days after my first round lol. Been ~10 days again after second round and still waiting. I think apps close 8/31, so those of us who have interviewed already may be a bit early to the party because superdays occur end of September I was told.
oh ok that makes sense. What office are you interviewing for?
Thank you for the info this is good to hear. I'm for the SA program but it took me 7 days in between 1st and 2nd round invite, and it's been 9 days since my 2nd round now. Hopefully we hear back for 3rd round soon because 2nd round was chill for me
