The Associate Program was exactly what I needed. I was going nowhere in my pursuit of a career change and the only option seemed like completing an MBA, which was out of my financial capability. The Associate Program seemed promising and it delivered as it was advertised on its website! To any students hesitant about joining, I would say just do it. As cliche as it may sound, this is truly an investment in your career. I am thankful I took the step and did because, without it, I would still be applying to jobs in the finance industry without sufficient knowledge or experience, and going nowhere.

Overall, the Analyst Prep Program was a great opportunity. Given that the recruiting process for top-level finance positions is so accelerated, it gave me valuable experience and technical skills that I otherwise would not have. I am very confident that I will be able to place into top firms because of this experience.

Being from a non-target school, this program was important for me. It gave me a skill set that has given me relevancy in the recruiting process and has allowed me to compete with graduates from target schools. If you are looking to build a strong base of financial knowledge there is no better place. The material is easy to comprehend and the mentoring is something that you cannot get anywhere else.
