Vista Private Equity Summer Analyst 2022

I’m applying for the Vista 2022 Summer Analyst position from a non-target.

I saw that last year people were talking about a timeline for rejection letters, 1st call, 2nd call, etc. with the 1st deadline in July.

Is it the same this year? I just finished applying and taking the CCAT/personality test and am wondering ballpark of when I’ll hear back.

Just from experience, the CCAT exam is total bs. Have a few colleagues who pretty much aced the assessments (top iq / very personal) and didn't advance (this is for associate, not SA). Don't feel like this exam measures your self-worth, those colleagues ended up at incredibly good shops anyway (often times, larger funds than Vista tbh). Good luck!
