It is very hard. Small class size, international students who are equally stellar, and Stanford has quotas for folks in PE. Also, unofficially, 80% of the class has exactly 4 years of work experience. So if you have more than that you are at a disadvantage. Good luck!

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?
