Just got an email about the QBA login info. Good luck everyone!

Same for me. All the best everyone!

Hey, I remember Dan mentioning that he might try and schedule interviews starting Friday itself and I was wondering if anyone in here heard back from Baruch regarding an interview after their QBA.

Also, should I expect an interview at all with 6/8 in the QBA?

 

[WSBquant]

Anyone received updates? Would hope to know the timeline

 

[USQUANT]

Anyone received interview invitation after QBA?

Also nothing from Baruch. I guess we need to wait until next week.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone who has taken the round 1 interview with Baruch could guide me on how to best prepare for the interview. Specifically -

1. For the coding section of the interview, is it more leetcode style problems or do they ask you questions about C++? Do they provide an IDE or do you have to have C++ running on your computer? Anything I should watch out for from the coding part of the interview?
2. Similarly for the math/stat section of the interview, are the questions similar in style to the QBA or are they more theoretical and conceptual?

Any other advice besides the 2 questions above will be much appreciated!

 

[USQUANT]

any updates?

 

[ShreyanshL]

I have an interview today, they emailed me Friday evening.

Fine, I think they didn't select me for an interview. Can you tell me your QBA score?

 

[mcsuy]

Have they really sent out all the invites? I got a 6/8 on the QBA too.

I got 7/8 but still no invite

Okay, GG, maybe QBA is not that important, but hopefully, it’s on a rollout basis

 

[MikeLawrence]

no idea but I'll bump as I'd be interested in hearing about the coding portion as well.

If I was applying this year I'd reach out to people I know who graduated from the program and just ask them. But I'm not, so I'll just suggest that you try and find a graduate to ask.

Have anyone been invited to interview? How did you do on the QBA?
Time to put it on the Tracker and get the action going. I saw close to a dozen trackers for 2025.
Best of luck to all and let's share your experience, tips.

I would like to know as well! I applied in Round 1 and gave the QBA on 26th Nov 8/8. I haven't received an interview invitation.

How did you do on the QBA?

8/8

 

[i.st]

I've been invited earlier this week and have my interview later today, was quite surprised given I only scored 5/8 in the QBA.

It makes sense given your background. I have no relevant work ex or degree.

I also would have given Sherlock Holmes a second chance. Seems reasonable.
