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.

Associate said that first rounds will be released this week. Also mentioned the heavy emphasis on the CCAT results being what determines if someone gets a first round.
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!
had no clue, thanks for the info !
We use the CCAT at my firm and while it's not flawless, our view is that there are enough practice tests out there so candidates have the ability to prepare (and should). If we identify a candidate with a lot of promise based on networking/intangibles, we may make an exception and grant a first round.

Bump
First rounds are out
yup I also got an invite
Received FR. Target
Second Rounds are out.
can confirm
Would you be willing to share any insights on the second round of interviews you had and what the structure was like?
Does anyone know how many interns Vista typically takes?
They take 10 interns, and usually offer half of them to come on FT. This % returning FT is slated to increase in future years according to HR.
Any idea what it looks like now? Thanks
Anyone hear back from 2nd rounds yet
Had mine today but haven't heard back
.
Super days are out, I got it at around 8:30PM EST 04/29
haven't heard back regarding superdays...guessing it's a ding
Same here chief, it is what it is
Are there multiple superday rounds? Just wondering bc there’s a lot of intern spots
Did you hear back?
Nah. At this point I think it might be a ding since other people on the forum have heard back.
.
Hey saw that you also had a Moelis LA offer, which one do you think you're going to take? Congrats on the two offers, that's awesome!
