Can I submit my application if my recommendation letters or test scores are not in yet?

Yes! We will simply wait until the letters or scores are received and then begin reviewing your file. Please note that the decision date may vary depending on when your application becomes complete.

Can I submit my application even though I still need to complete some prerequisites?

Hi,
Congrats on the interview. First interview is a mix of technical and resume based. The technical part is kind of customized to your background, so basically be prepared to talk about whats on your resume and important subjects you studied through your major and etc. For example, I majored in statistics and finance, I got asked quite a bit of Stats/R and finance questions.

That is a guess, but that is what I found from others prior to interviewing. Good luck!

Thanks, Could you discuss some of your questions that were asked ? Were they tough ? I am from chemical engineering background and currently working in Risk Management.

Hey congrats! I think the technical questions were generally based on your resume. They are mostly interested in data and programming skills. I wrote Java and C++ in resume, so the interviewer asked about my proficiency and then proceeded with questions about inheritance in Java and components of hash tables in C++. I would say it really depends on your background. You should make sure you know the things that are listed on your resume and you will be fine! I actually missed one question because I didn't expect these many data questions but I still passed.

Good luck!!

Thanks for the tip! It was really helpful. Did they tell you when you could expect a reply ?
