-No modelling experience I had no modeling exerience whatsoever. I did have strong accounting skills which is crucial to understanding how to model. If you don't understand the inputs, you won't be good at modeling.

-Took the WallStreetPrep self-study course I took the course last summer and completed it, as I have said on other posts, I really liked it and it helped tremendously.

-Interviewers noticed and responded positively I work at a boutique and my bosses had no idea what WSP was, BUT, they were impressed at the program and how it made me confident to build models from scratch.

-Got the job Yes, it got me the job.
