Has anyone completed the William Blair Kora pre-interview? What is the format? How did it go? Do I need to have a webcam for it?

I completed it, it really isn't bad. Imagine every other online application questionnaire - it is made up of a few questions about your ECs, followed by questions about work experience, and finally a few questions about what you would do in business situations. Take as long as you want, it is all multiple choice or fill in the blank.
when do you get koru after you submit your application?
I think next day
Got it three hours after I submitted
Have you heard anything back after completing it yet?
is this for FT or SA
SA
Anyone get the first round interview invite? Heard WB interviews are more focused on fit, but it's 45 minutes. Thinking there will probably be quite a few technicals. Anyone have any insight?
just got a first round invite. would also like to know more info
Got an interview too
What was your top strength?
@serefina2" @MarthaStrewartsAFelon" any one of you have an update yourself? what was the first round like? SA or FT?
Mine was mostly technical.(SF Office) DCF, WACC, Multiples, 3 statement/link em up, Valuations methods, why each. From a non-target with a lower end GPA so it might have been to check competency.
had my first round this morning. a mix of behavioral questions and some basic technical questions (valuation methods, accounting). heard back about an hour later.
mine got moved to tomorrow at 1pm. were the technical questions hard or pretty fair if you've been preparing?
Have any of you all heard back? I just had mine. Regular behavioral questions then how do you value a company, walk me through a DCF, which methods produce higher valuations and if you have two companies A and B with the same EBITDA but A has higher Capex and B has higher starting retained earnings, would that affect the valuation.
Seems like superdays are out for William Blair at least for Chicago and SF offices.
Is this for MBA internships? Because I believe the applications are still open?
Duff and Phelps people came to my school a week back for presentation and according to the catalog I have, they require a webcamp. I am assuming William Blair would have a similar process
I applied on 9/26, I finished my Kora on 9/28. Hoping to hear back soon.
Have you heard anything back yet? I also applied on the 19, did my kora the same day. But no word from the bank yet.
Nothing as of now. Please keep me posted if you hear back. Out of curiosity what was your top skill from the pre-interview?
Just got an email stating that their recruitment process is over.
Has anyone heard back after the koru assessment, any first round invites? I have two weeks to accept my JPM offer. Really hoping to hear back from WB just completed the assessment yesterday.
Friend of mine got a message from a connect at William Blair saying that their SA class for 2018 is full.
