WallStreet Prep Course -- Just The Facts Please

OK, there are a million posts and threads with opinions on this topic -- I'd like to use this one to get real.

Please respond if you have ACTUAL EXPERIENCE in one of the following fact patterns:

-No modelling experience
-Took the WallStreetPrep self-study course
-Interviewers noticed and responded positively
-Got the job

OR

-No modelling experience
-Took the course
-Interviewers didn't give a rat's
-Didn't get the job

OR some other combination? Does it make a difference or notin getting an actual job? (IN YOUR EXPERIENCE)

No opinions or conjectures, please - or just post them in another thread.

Analogies to blow-up dolls, however, will be acceptable.

 

-No modelling experience I had no modeling exerience whatsoever. I did have strong accounting skills which is crucial to understanding how to model. If you don't understand the inputs, you won't be good at modeling.

-Took the WallStreetPrep self-study course I took the course last summer and completed it, as I have said on other posts, I really liked it and it helped tremendously.

-Interviewers noticed and responded positively I work at a boutique and my bosses had no idea what WSP was, BUT, they were impressed at the program and how it made me confident to build models from scratch.

-Got the job Yes, it got me the job.
