Does completing the WSP Financial and Valuation Modeling Program actually help get into banking? I have access to it for free through my university, but I’m not sure if it is actually a good time investment or not.

Yes. Most will just study enough technicals to get through the interview. But you’ll stand out if you’re self studying

Yes, I take note of modeling courses on intern and entry level resumes

Better than not having it. If you have it and bomb easy technicals it's probably a worse look

Thank you! If you don’t mind, what would be some advice to make my experience in corporate finance relative in IB?

Won’t necessarily help or hurt when interviewing, other than giving you some hands on modeling experience.
Completing a modeling course like WSP will GREATLY help on the job. I’m a VP and still refer to some of the videos.

I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
