I got proceeded to the case study round but I have zero background in finance and modeling :') I have no idea what is going on
You don’t work in PE?
No. Fundraising/IR background
Never took a single modeling course in my life, even basic three statements
When is the deadline?
Applied 04/02 got the questionnaire today 04/06 and submitted it today
Applied to SF office 03.22.23. Received and submitted questionnaire 04.03.23 (questionnaire was due 04.09.23). They said that I'd hear back within 10 business days after submitting. No updates yet.
is the questionnaire timed?
Is the academy more prestigious than working at Citadel or Balnasy or Millennium?
they're all the same; top vanilla MM HFs. The academy is just something you do for under a year to learn the trade before becoming an analyst
Some comments in previous topics probably got removed because there were people doing things they shouldn't.
If you got to a case study don't despair, you might have better odds than you think.
Just looked and I didn't know they ask for your transcripts too, must be rough for some older candidates.
My advice is to understand the expectations of a good case study response.
Take a look at presentations for well known valuation or investment competitions to get an idea of what you're expected to do.
Doing things they weren’t supposed to? Like giving data on the case study I would imagine?
And idk I received the case study but still seems like a long shot at this point…
Could be, ask the mods to be sure.
Hey any examples of these competitions? I know about the Columbia/Pershing Sq competition but would appreciate getting to know about others
Anyone know what 1st year comp for this is?
The estimated base pay is $72,039 per year. The estimated additional pay is $19,333 per year. Additional pay could include bonus, stock, commission, profit sharing

Hello guys,
Submitted application 2 weeks ago, i received the questionnaire a few days later and now i am waiting.
In case i make it to the case study, i am like our friend here who had no skills in valuation/modeling. Would like to know where can i learn how to perform the valuation or any tips if some of you made it through the entire application process.
Thx all!
YouTube
Thx!
Any specific channel in mind? They def are not all equal from what i see lol.
Has anyone actually received an offer for the experienced academy starting summer 2023?
i know someone did a superday recently. Have you heard anyone who got an offer?
How is the pay at the academy?
bump
What is the latest? I thought academy starts in June? If we still haven't heard back from HR screen, should we just assume they have passed on us?
Idk I have a feeling this was a way for them to get some free models. So many people got the model invite and how am I supposed quit my job and start with them June 1?
How long ago did you submit case?
There are expected to be three start dates for the year so this depends on when you applied.
How do you know that? I thought it was all June 1?
How long does it usually take to hear back post case submission?
Bro no one knows. Read this thread and old ones🙄
Just heard back 3 weeks later. Dinged unfortunately
I got the questionnaire today for 2023. Idk about the timing on June 1 for everyone saying that’s when experienced starts but doesn’t seem like that’s a hard date…
Whole thing seems odd to me…
Anyone on this thread actually get an offer?
Start date isn't June and applications seem to be on a rolling basis
Got dinged today. Submitted application two weeks ago, got questionnaire last week, submitted last week/weekend.
Applied mid June and working on case now - anyone else?
Same here. Case sent today. Does anyone know what the stages are after the case round?
I applied in the same cycle and was dinged off the questionnaire two days ago, but from I’ve seen in past threads (from a year or two ago) are a case debrief round, then superday, then offer.
How did you go about answering what you would do to make money without college and how you got interested in L/S? Obviously don’t want to dox you but general framework would be helpful
Has anyone heard back on the case study yet?
Did you submit for the due date?
7/25
Hey. Mind sharing the timeline between case submission and coach interview? Just submitted my case. Thanks!
heard back earlier this week regarding the case
how long after submitting?
sorry just saw this, was about a week after the case I believe
Question: is there a difference between this and when you are already on the sell side and BD reach out to you? Dose that process just loop you back to the academy?
If BD reaches out you won’t get an academy seat. It’d be on a pod pretty sure.
Sorry what is BD? But for IB analysts (after your 2-3) you wouldn’t participate in the academy you go straight into a pod? Got contacted by a recruiter and interested
Did anyone get any update post Case submission on the 01/08 ?
Just submitted my case, wondering if anyone knows how long turnaround is if you do make it to the next round?
Same here. Have you heard back yet?
If anyone could provide any color on how long it typically takes to hear back post case submission, would be super helpful
Spoke with someone who submitted during a different cycle & said about a week
Same here. Submitted case 19/8, waiting to hear back
Seems applications are still open? What time of year does the process normally close?
No idea but they have 3 start dates
Anyone heard back from Case deadline of 29.08 yet?
Any updates here, submitted a few weeks back. Standard seems to be 1-2 weeks but maybe on longer side this time around. Assume it’s 1 HR 1 Team interview from here if lucky.
Quick idea of what is the case about? Is it a 500 words writing like 2022 or a 3 statement like early 2023?
Did anyone have to do a modeling test and Wonderlic assessment?
I applied for the academy, got the questionnaire and then was dinged about 3 weeks ago… earlier this week I got an invite for Wonderlic assessment and modeling test, which seems to be the first step for L/S… Very confused now. Maybe i forgot I applied to additional positions but I don’t have any email confirmations for any position other than the academy
Whole things not well done imo.
I applied —> filled out the questionnaire—> got dinged —> reached out to HR about why I got dinged —> they said it was a “mistake” and gave me the case study —> spent like 50 hours on it —> got dinged
Not saying my case study quality is a function of time put into it or that it was better than others, but seems like a crap shoot. Gl
anyone get updates after submitting the Case study in recent weeks? or is the process likely done for this year's Academy
I think it's over. I haven't heard anything and it's been 2ish weeks...
I think the recruitment process is ongoing. I applied a week ago, got the questionnaire a couple of days ago and just submitted yesterday.
Anyone who got past the case study round, do you have a sense of when they get back to you and how many rounds post case study? Submitted case study yesterday
I submitted last week also Tuesday. Wonder if you have heard back?
not yet. but, seems like from some comments above it can take them a week to respond.
