Suppose you have a guy applying for a full-time who is probably in the 90% of applicants.
And say he applied at not every bank, but absolutely at a wide variety of them.
It's hard to predict, but for argument's sake, do you think he could get an offer from every employer, or is that impossible?

what is the point of this hypothetical?
if he has an offer in hand already from a top bank makes it likely he will get offers from other banks, solely because he has the leverage.
still might get a few dings though. it's not all that predictable
If you get an offer from the place that you most want to work at, take it and stop interviewing. All you do otherwise is take other people's spots. Recruiting is a team game on some level, once you have your offer in hand.
Different places are looking for different things. Even the strongest candidate isn't going to get an offer everywhere because he's not going to be a fit everywhere. If he does, it means he's just a really good actor or the people recruiting are just really desperate. The best place for you will always find you, it just works out that way. Take the offer with the place that you want and that wants you most.

Someone in the 90th percentile of candidates? Most banks take well fewer than 10% of applicants so I don't see how this hypothetical candidate would get offers everywhere. During recruiting at my school this season, even the very strongest applicants got 2-4 offers, at the high end.
