“My mentoring session with Andre was extremely valuable and gave me the clarity and direction I needed at an important stage of my application journey. He was kind, approachable, and generous with his time, creating an atmosphere in which I felt comfortable sharing my experiences, asking questions, and discussing my doubts openly.
One of the most helpful aspects of our conversation was his guidance on how to organize and communicate my personal story. Andre helped me understand how to connect different experiences into a coherent narrative, identify the elements that matter most, and explain their significance more clearly. His perspective was fundamental in helping me see how to present my background with greater confidence, purpose, and authenticity.
I particularly appreciated his advice on what to avoid. He helped me recognize that including every detail does not necessarily make a story stronger, and that being selective can make a message much more effective. Our discussion gave me a clearer understanding of how to avoid unnecessary repetition, keep my narrative focused, and ensure that each part contributes something meaningful to the overall application.
Andre also provided valuable guidance on how to organize the application process itself. He helped me think more clearly about priorities, how to approach the different components, and how to make the work feel more manageable. Having a clearer structure has made a difference to my mindset: instead of seeing the applications as one overwhelming task, I now feel better equipped to approach them through specific, achievable steps.
Another important takeaway was his advice on how to use the coming days effectively. Our conversation helped me understand where to focus my energy, which tasks deserve immediate attention, and how to establish a realistic plan. I left the session with a stronger sense of direction and a better understanding of how to balance thoughtful preparation with consistent progress.
What made the experience positive was the combination of practical guidance and encouragement. Andre offered suggestions in a considerate and constructive way, helping me reflect on my choices while also making me feel supported. His kindness made it easier to engage honestly with the process and to see areas for improvement as opportunities to strengthen my applications.
Overall, this session was fundamental in helping me understand both what I want to communicate and how to move forward. I now have a clearer approach to telling my story, organizing my applications, avoiding common mistakes, and planning the next few days with intention.
I am very grateful for Andre’s support and for the care he brought to our conversation. His advice gave me useful tools, renewed confidence, and a more focused approach to the work ahead. I would highly recommend a session with him to anyone seeking thoughtful guidance, practical direction, and a supportive space to develop their application narrative. The session helped me turn uncertainty into a clearer plan, and I feel much more prepared to make the most of the time ahead and present my experiences in a meaningful and convincing way.”
I applied but haven't heard back yet. Seems to be a trend for me though haha
bump
Has anyone heard back regarding the status of their first round interview?
Just got handed a rejection.
same
How did you get the rejection and around what time?
Email, 5:10 p.m. Eastern
Were your first round interviews over the phone?
I never actually got a first round, they just rejected my app.
Hey contango2, I got a first round interview and had it last week (it was a phone interview). I still haven't received a decision (although I did get an email saying we would get decisions today. What about you?
^^ same situation.
Same situation... Phone interview last week, got an email saying we would get a decision today, have not received the decision yet.
Has anyone gotten a second round interview?
So what should we all do? Do we wait or do we email? This is quite stressful because I thought they would at least let us know about our decision.
bump, updates?
I was told no-go by e-mail, which was expected.
I got past the first round, and had my phone interview the other day. Got the rejection email last night, does anybody know how many people are accepted to this program?
I heard it was ~20 total.
35 people were invited to superday, first group consists of 19 kids from Columbia, NYU, Princeton and all the schools that are close. The afternoon group consists 15 kids, 3 Cornell, 3 Duke, 3 Harvard, 1 Chicago and some state schools~ 8 from the morning group and 8 from the afternoon group were given offers
How do you have such a detailed account?
I assume given the detailed breakdown that you were invited to superdays?
Yes, I was lucky enough to be invited to the superday. The questions asked were very behavioral and resume based by MD level ppl, and we were also interviewed by Robert Wolf, so the president's internship is actually involved with the president~
the program is not a diversity program as many have mentioned, one black kid, one hispanic, 3 asian females, thats about it~ but it is 50% female
And the ones who made it to the superday are automatically invited to the Sophomore Symposium in May. But I believe the symposium has a larger capacity, so those of you who had first round interviews may get into the symposium, which is pretty awesome
What kind of previous experience did you have, if any?
hey bellameowww, i was at superday too, did you get it?
