Goldman Sachs Referral and Application Process

So on 1/3 I submitted an application for a role at GS. Yesterday, I received an update on the app that I am "currently not being considered" for the role. The interesting thing about it all is that I still have the option to withdraw my application from the process. If I was denied completely-- wouldn't they not even give me that option? Also, I have a friend who is a VP and was able to make an employee referral on my behalf. This did not happen until the day AFTER I received the update on my application.

Has anyone had this experience before? What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

 

I also have this status update as well. My situation is that I was contacted by the recruiter that I was shortlisted but I did not managed to reply him within 24 hours (only 30 hours later) since I was travelling. I sent the recruiter a message that I am interested to move forward with the application but no reply from him.
