How the process runsTypical for a direct lender
- 1ApplicationTypicalSmall classes. Many firms hire through networking and from banks' leveraged finance groups.
- 2First roundTypicalInterviews on your story, why credit, and credit analysis: leverage, coverage, and cash flow.
- 3Final roundTypicalSeveral interviews and often a case: a short credit memo or a model on a company asking to borrow.
- 4OfferTypicalUsually within days of the final round.
Timing between stages shows on each program page once students report it. Firms change formats by year and office; the firm's own invite is the final word.

- Downside first: what the business is worth and what you recover if the plan fails.
- Cash flow and interest coverage, not growth, decide whether a loan gets repaid.
