Constructive learning is the key word. People spend hours heling you understand concepts and deepening you knowledge in topics that interest you, and want to make sure you feel comfortable asking questions. Also, the team is really diverse and people are super nice in making sure you are involved in everything

I loved it and I think is a life changing experience, in 10 weeks you grow personally and professionally, make new friendships, discover a new Citi and new passions

Yes

I would say try to be consistent with your interests and your personality and demonstrate intellectual curiosity and eagerness to learn and open mindfulness. You come here to learn and the attitude is what count the most.
