On cycle prep - too late to start?
Is it too late to prepare from ground 0 for on cycle. Have been traveling and willing to invest as much time as needed as long as there is a decent chance of placing given 2 weeks of prep until training and 2 weeks during training. Thanks
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some key points to consider regarding on-cycle preparation:
Immediate Preparation is Crucial:
Preparation Strategy:
Balancing Prep with Work:
Risks of Being Unprepared:
Timing and Flexibility:
Given your situation, if you can dedicate significant time over the next four weeks (two weeks before training and two weeks during training), you might still have a decent chance. However, ensure that your preparation is thorough and focused on the key areas mentioned above.

I mean you probably have at lease 2 weeks, at most probably like 3 maybe 4. It is a tight window, but no point in not prepinng if you have nothing else to do because you will just get some of what you would need to do for off-cycle out of the way. But don't force yourself to do On-cycle if you are unprepared, no point in blacklisting yourself from a fund or HH, especially when the same opportunity will be there off-cycle.
Quick question: does blacklisting apply to BBs too? Was rejected from one of the 3BBs and HR contact said I should def come back next intake
Honestly if you haven’t started yet I’d probably sit out. Last year more spots than ever were available for off cycle because of how early it was. Same thing will happen this year. Not worth getting blacklisted when you could land the seat in 6 months instead.
After talking with second years I decided I’m sitting out. A ton of people in my group placed at NY UMM - MF buyout post oncycle craze. Seems like another wave around January is typical
I have been traveling since grad and don’t want to fck up HH relations
