Updated Thoughts on GPS (Global Platinum Securities)?

In college right now, got an interview for Global Platinum Securities. I'm a freshman gunning for top tech groups (MS Menlo/Piper Sandler/GS TMT/FT Partners); would take elite growth equity too (SL/JMI Equity/KKR Growth). The lowest I would go is a top SM (Tiger grand grand cubs or Coatue ).

GPS seems to have a sick club with very good placements (top Tech EBs, top RX groups, PE...) Wondering what do fellow chimps think? Saw some good threads but all outdated. Heard they took some chill dudes last year. Any insight on culture and exits?

Also, would appreciate comments on my chances. I don't wanna go into the interview not knowing: 3.95 GPA from elite prep school (think Choate/Exeter/Andover/Deerfield), 1590 SAT, HYPWSM (not MIT or Stanford; think targets), joined some good investing clubs. If it helps, I have BamSec Pro and CapIq Plug-In certification. What chance do I stand?
