MBB on hold/waitlisted after final round

Got a call last night after my MBB final round telling me I was on hold and would know for sure before Thanksgiving. My guess is that since I'm on the fence they want to wait til after their next 1-2 final rounds to see how I stack up.

I've started reaching out to my (mostly junior) contacts at the firm to let them know/"make some noise."

Would love to hear your advice! Thanks.

 

Oops, didn't meant to post that preemptively. I'd reach out to those at the firm who you know. Honestly though, it's more dependent on whether or not people choose other firms than about contacts pushing you through. That company is really intent on getting a certain number of people this year (and in most years), which is why they even have a waitlist.

 

Mine worked out a couple days ago :)

wasted, lemme know which office and firm you're talking about, and I can hopefully shed more light having just gone through the process.
