[Tianci Xu]

Thank you for the information!

 

[bosbop]

Did the interview on 26th. A math prof., a bunch of math fundamentals questions. It was good.

 

[rillsong]

Did anyone receive the second-round interview invitation?

Did anyone receive the second-round interview invitation?

Just got the round 2 interview date and time.

 

[Vickkkkkk]

From what I heard, round 2 with Dr. Stefanica is on.
Good luck!

 

[bosbop]

Any pointers interviewing with Dr. Stefanica? Will it be Math oriented and C++? One of the interview is supposed to be on C++

 

[anonym]

How did everyone feel about R2?

I got no C++ questions, but I think it will depend.

I got no C++ questions, but I think it will depend.

Intense but less technical than R1, I think.

 

[Vickkkkkk]

How did everyone feel about R2?

I assume it really depends on your resume. My friend got questions like: max var [0-1,1], max var [0,1], max var [-1,1]. I think it may be useful to go over his book - 150 IQs. Practice a lot to explain in front of the camera, I found it that it is not easy.

Hey guys, just wanted to know if there’s anyone studying for the Baruch QBA and can share how they are doing so. I’m currently solving past years exams on my uni’s archives in probability, calc 3 and linear algebra, but maybe there are better ways to do so? Would also appreciate advice from people who took it before!

 

[Handye]

Also preparing for the QBA and wondering how to review.

The topics to review for the QBA can be found at

Good luck!

 

[GWeitz]

Anyone receive an interview yet?

 

[GWeitz]

I guess I can answer my own question... got mine about an hour ago

 

[ciciyang]

Hi, how many days after the application deadline did you receive the QBA quant exam? Thanks!

 

[ciciyang]

Hi,
I saw the website says the QBA exam will be conducted within one week after the deadline. The third round deadline is Feb 15th, so has anyone received email about the schedule of the exam? Or anyone applied in the previous rounds, how many days after the deadline did you receive the email about the exam? Please let me know! Thanks!

 

[dstefan]

The email regarding the QBA for Round 3 applicants was just sent.

 

[ciciyang]

I just saw it! Thanks Dan!

 

[dstefan]

Good luck, Cici!
