A quick definition of surety company:

A surety company is a type of company that helps protect people from losing money if someone else doesn't do what they promised. For example, if someone needs to pay bail to get out of jail, a surety company can promise to pay the bail if the person doesn't show up for their court date. This helps the person who needs to pay bail because they don't have to come up with all the money themselves.

A more thorough explanation:

A surety company is a type of company that provides insurance to protect a party from losses caused by a third party. For example, if someone is required to post bail to be released from jail, a surety company can provide a bond to the court to ensure that the person shows up for their court date. If the person fails to appear, the surety company will be responsible for paying the full bail amount.

Another example of a surety company is one that provides fidelity bonds to employers. These bonds protect the employer from losses caused by employee theft or fraud.

Overall, a surety company is a type of insurance company that specializes in providing guarantees and protection against losses caused by third parties.

it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh
