Evan Situ, I hope your assessment went well and that you will get an interview soon (I assume it is the next step).
Thanks a lot for the tips , I guess I have to review stats , as I took very few courses in my undegrad.

Keep up updated on your status!

Hi "gavchik",

Would you mind enlightening me what you found so funny about my post? I can assure you I was not joking with my criticism toward you.

it was just pure finance concept, shouldn't be difficult!!!

Oh, aren't you a joy.

I bet that by telling me to "just relax", you hope to make me appear high-strung, when in reality that is neither the case nor relevant. The reasons that led me to my initial post were completely obvious; I could not have put less effort into concluding that your posts were inappropriate.

Speaking of the need to relax, may I point out that you are the one that has been desperately begging for every little scrap of information with the hopes of getting ever so slightly ahead of applicants who received the first few batches of assessments based on their higher GPA's, more impressive resumes, and whatever else about which you should be more concerned.

I have yet to hear a rebuttal (that is, if you can muster one), and instead got a laugh and an inane "relax, dude" from you. You are sure to be a promising addition to the industry.

Can't wait to hear about the rapture this post brings you.

I have a feeling the interview process might be seperate from the math assessment...
I haven't done the math yet, and I already received an email for an interview.

i think not all people required for the assessment. or maybe you are right....two different process

I read last year's post; someone got the interview first and then the online assessment. I'm a bit confused now.

Also, I'd say the questions for the online assessment's random, since the composition of type of questions I got is different than Evan's

 

[gavchik]

I got an email with the assessment today, plan to do it tomorrow morning. Very excited, yet nervous

Evan, I think I read it somewhere last year, that people started to get invintations for interviews a few days after the assessment and interviews took place about a week or two later. However, this was the procedure for international students who had skype/phone interview.

To Cam, the only reason I can justify different processses is the profile of the applicant. I have finished my undegrad a few years ago, so maybe they sent me an assessment to see if I remember any math. While others studying currently studying are not required to show that they "remember".

darn, i wonder if invitation for assessment equals invitation for interviews. are you based in toronto?

I guess the selection process is different than previous years, as I am based in Toronto and I received an invintation for assessment only.
I think invintation for an interview is worth more than just an assessment.
Maybe they don't conduct as many interviews as they used to, and just invite the top students at first and then choose the remaining from people who completed the assessment.

 

[gavchik]

i only see 1 person (cam) on Tracker who got an invite for an interview. Who else got an invite?
