Upon receiving applications, the Selection Committee reviews the applications and makes recommendations for first round interviews. These 30-minute Round I interviews are conducted by the current USIF managers. In this interview, all applicants will be asked to give a 5-minute “pitch” of a stock idea. In the second round, the USIF instructors will meet with the final candidates for a 20-minute interview. The USIF instructors will consult with an ad hoc faculty committee before the final selection is made. The final admission decisions will be rendered late February/early March.
The number of students allowed to enroll in this two-semester program is limited to 20 so that (a) each student may have direct experience in portfolio management and (b) the class as a group can visit with a variety of money managers. The students are selected based on their genuine interest in pursuing a career in the investment management field.
