William Blair SA 21 (Chicago)

I believe the Chicago office will be starting their process soon so I wanted to create a thread for Chicago only updates. If anyone has any insight into the timeline right now, please share.

Also, any ideas on how to get into the process coming from a non-target? Will a referral from an associate secure a first-round?
