How the process runsTypical for a large private equity firm
- 1ApplicationTypicalUndergraduate programs are small; many firms recruit through banks and networking.
- 2Online assessmentTypicalSome firms use online tests or a timed modeling exercise early.
- 3First roundTypicalInterviews with associates and VPs: your story, a deal you worked on or follow, LBO technicals.
- 4Final roundTypicalSeveral interviews, often a modeling test or case (a timed LBO or an investment memo).
- 5OfferTypicalUsually 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.

- Investment judgment: would you buy this business, at what price, and what kills the deal.
- A clear reason for investing rather than advising, backed by deals you can discuss.
