This was a first round on campus interview. I applied through the online resume drop and was selected to sign up for an interview a few days later. The interview was a basic 30 minute interview with both behavioral and technical questions. Applicants were notified whether they were moving forward to the superday within 2-3 days after the interview.

Nothing out of the ordinary. Basic questions about resume, valuation and accounting questions, and why investment banking.
