FAQ
Many of the technical questions can be answered using internet guides including Investopedia or for visual learners, YouTube videos.
Who is eligible to apply?
Everyone! Regardless of year or major or industry of choice, everyone at Vanderbilt is welcome to apply for FMC.
Are Excel skills a prerequisite?
No, they aren't. Although they'll help you when doing the models, we don't assume any previous knowledge in Excel to have success in this class.
What's the application process like?
The application will consist of a resume round and a single technical interview.
Why is the interview technical?
Excel modeling is difficult as is, but it becomes even more difficult if you're not familiar with financial concepts. The technical interview is a bar to make sure everyone in the course will be able to complete the models.
What will the interview consist of?
Every technical concept that will be covered in the interview will be covered in the technical guides on the website. If you watch the videos and study the slides, you'll be well prepared.
