Looking for Advice - Upcoming IB Superday

Hi everyone,

I’m a freshman DEI candidate, recently accepted into Nomura’s DEI program for freshmen and sophomores. The program states that "qualified candidates who successfully complete the program will be considered for the 2026 Summer Analyst Program," and I’ve heard this could culminate in a Superday.

I’ve been studying investment banking technicals since pre-college and have done extensive modeling, including LBOs with debt schedules, sensitivity analyses, and football field valuations. I completed a pre-college finance internship and am currently interning during the school year with another finance internship.

With just over a month left in the program, I plan to dedicate 3+ hours a day to prep. What’s the best way to structure my preparation to ensure I’m ready?

Thanks in advance for the advice!
