At a Glance
Technical quiz +34pp (58% → 92%); HireVue latency −75% (4.8s → 1.2s); 3 offers (GS panel + 2 master’s); 6 months; Frameworks: BDC™, STAR‑3™, VTMR™
First‑year comp path £100k+; strong PE upside
Before
Disjointed narrative, 58% technicals, no UK network; GS odds <2%.
After
GS Real Estate Investment Banking Interview seven‑interviewer final panel; Cambridge MPhil & Imperial MSc offers; technicals 92%.
Problem
Craig lacked a coherent story and UK mentors; GS demands alignment to Business Principles and real estate investment banking valuation fluency. HireVues drifted (filler 7%); pauses signalled uncertainty. Oxbridge deadlines loomed alongside banking prep. He needed accuracy gains, latency compression and a banker‑grade proposition.
Solution
Three 120‑word BDC™ scripts → 100% alignment to GS Principles.
18h modelling clinics → quiz +34pp.
4 panel sims → filler 7.3% → 1.2%.
VTMR™ voice drills → latency 4.8s → 1.2s.
Result
By month six Craig sat GS REIB’s final panel with “highly competitive” feedback; days later Cambridge and Imperial issued offers for a masters degree.
ROI Table
Testimonial: “Your frameworks were genuine cheat codes. I flubbed several technicals yet still reached GS final round—structure is everything.” — Craig K.
