I am currently a first-year college student pursuing IB/PE, and I recently got a invite to for a 1st round HireVue for KKR's Scholar Program. From the people that have done it before, what did the program look like? What was the interview process like? Is it competitive?

Since nobody commented on this and I finished it yesterday, this will be for next year’s applicants who eventually search on WSO.
It’s two questions and you are given only one try at recording your answers.
The first one is tell us about yourself/background.
The second one is tell us about a time you struggled/encountered an issue professionally/academically/in a team setting/etc. Basically the question where you have pre-planned stories. Use the STAR method and say how you persevered and the lesson you got from it.
Very simple behavioral questions, nothing crazy.
Yep, second this. I'll try to keep it updated if I hear next steps! Surprised to see nothing on here about the Program...
i just got an email today! do you think it matters that I heard back abt a week later?
this will def be super helpful for future applicants! also for time limit stuff, you get 1 min of prep time and 3 min max in terms of response length
Did anyone hear back from the first round hirevue?
not yet
I did today
Wait you did? Did you get in?
Any tips for first round interviews? Also any tips on the hirevue process?
Anyone hear back now? I have not yet.
I know the email said it would be two weeks after you submitted the Hirevue videos, so maybe it will come out this weekend.
Any updates?
