<p>What to expect for IB candidates? I have ZERO experience. I only have an interest, but I was selected.</p>
<p>would people who received an interview invitation mind posting their stats?</p>
<p>1989DC, have you taken (m)any econ/finance related courses? what is your major?
i also have zero experience and was wondering how big of a chance i have.</p>
<p>Congrats to those who have gotten interviews! I goofed, and ended up missing the round one deadline, but I guess it will give me a better opportunity to polish off my essays and get some finance stuff underway.</p>
<p>i’m from a super non-ib target, and i didn’t even write any essays for the seo application. I guess my resume is strong.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone with interviews so far! Let us know how they go.
1989DC, what program area did you apply to as your first choice?</p>
<p>I haven’t heard back yet but my stats are:
junior. ~3.7 gpa. investment club. internship this summer with some finance role. leader in school organizations with finance experience.</p>
<p>They sent me a phone/skype screen invitation. I dont know if they send it to all applicants but at least im happy im on the right track.</p>
<p>Hi everyone…</p>
<p>I applied for SEO ib program on 10/26…haven’t heard back anything yet…nervously waiting…</p>
<p>mapr89: Which program did you apply for?</p>
<p>I submitted my application for IB on 11/2 and received an email about my phone interview on 11/3 …</p>
<p>Does anyone know any probable interview questions?
I haven’t received any skype request from college confidential, has any of you received one?
Is the skype interview with or without a webcam?
By the way, my essay was really short but direct and straight to the point. I’m a Puerto Rican and i don’t know if that had something to do with it.</p>

<p>I didn’t even write the essay…coz I talked to one of the recruiter and she told me that you don’t need to write an essay until you are invited to a in-person interview…</p>
<p>I havent received a skype invite either…I did read somewhere that skype interviews were only for students studying abroad but a skype username was required to book the appt…? Im assuming they will call but I’ll be on skype just in case. I have my interview tomorrow!</p>
<p>Those who have received phone/skype invitations, can you guys share your stats?</p>
