1st Years

It was a sweeping victory as Kellogg placed 1st and 2nd in both brackets to win the overall competition. Congratulations to all the teams that participated in this year's event and demonstrated the Finance prowess of the "marketing school". You guys rock! Now concentrate on the fit and tech questions and prepare to rock the interviews. 

Many of the closed list announcements have come out. Don't get discouraged if you didn't get closed list slots in some of your top choices. Every year many people get jobs from the open list. A common question is "can I bid on a company I didn't apply to?" The answer is Yes! Make sure to bid for all the banks so that you give yourself a shot at an internship in banking. Remember, the name of the game is to get an offer and then choose the bank. You only need one offer!

One slot is still available for IB mock interviews. Sign-up here. If you were unable to sign-up, periodically check the sign-up sheet as people occasionally drop. Be sure to also reach out to 2nd years individually and coordinate directly with them to arrange a mock interview. 2nd years are happy to help, but please try to work around their schedule. A list of 2nd years available to help can be found here. Try to target at least 10 mock interviews.
