I applied online. I week later I received an email about setting up an interview. The head of research called me a few days later to talk. Asked me basic excel questions and questions about my hours and availability. A few days later I went in to the office and talked with a senior analyst. Basic fit questions. Received the offer right then and there.

The internship coordination was quick and brief. I expected a bunch of financial sheet questions in the interview, however, they mainly talked about the hours I could work over the winter break. The head of research is very nice and keeps her door open. Working with the Associate and Senior Analysts was well worth the commute and lack of pay. I learned more practical-analytical skills in the month there than in the previous semester I just completed at the University of Tennessee.
