Is bankruptcy a deal breaker?

I am hoping to land a spot in Morgan Stanley's Wealth Advisory Associate program. I have a chapter 7 that is about 5 years old. Will they run a credit check? If so, when it comes up, will this eliminate me from consideration?

Regulatory agencies require that financial institutions run credit checks on potential employees.

I don't have experience with this but I'd say that if your credit is repaired now it won't completely blow your chances.
