Wow... No interview with GS

It's completely random.  There is no rhyme or reason often times.  The best you can do is assign a probability to whether or not you'll get an interview, but nothing is certain.  This is why you apply to so many places.

Follow-up with your contacts there and see if they can tell you anything or make a push for you...

you probably didnt make a  good impression during the summer, simple as that.

Did you get a FT offer from FICC?

no offense, phoenix, but you sound like captain retarded in this post. Numerous reasons could have occurred, all outlined above. You should be happy that you have other interviews.

Sorry don't mean to sound like I am whining.

It is just that I felt like GS was my best shot. I know a lot of people there but I dont know anyone from the other places. the reversal is surprising.

no, it was a sophomore spring break internship.

I called the analyst from my group, a VP from my group, and a MD on IBD side

VP says she will look into it

MD says he didn't look at books but he will take a look and get back to me

analyst says i didnt see your resume i'll look at it and call you back

HR wouldn't throw out someone's resume right?

but thinking back, I did forget to apply online by the deadline......... but I did submit on my school's website by deadline though

If you weren't asked back for your Sophmore summer that should have been an indication that you did not leave a great impression .... you can still reach out to HR and see if they can provide you with some feeback or contact a VP or MD that you had a lot of interaction with and ask them for advice

Weird double posty.

No I didn;t get asked back I definitley don't want to be that girl but I can't help wondering. and yes there is an analyst who hates me and my sorority but it's personal and I was hoping it would not influence this descision.

Personal feelings can impact decisions. I am pretty sure.

You already answered your question Pheonix...... this is what happened and it had nothing to do with you actually at all....

You asked all of those individuals and they clearly state "they did not see your resume".... then you write back here you applied on school website, but not GS HR website. What happened was that the resume books get compiled by HR from the GS website which you did not apply to on time. They compiled the resume book for the individuals to look at and pick resumes to interview and your was not there at all. Therefore, you did not get an interview merely because they did not even really know you applied for it. 

Anytime they ask you to apply on their website.... they state numerous times at the information session to make sure you do this. I am not really sure why they have you do it on the schools website, but I get the feeling they rarely ever use the schools website to pull resumes or get the information. I think they take the resumes from the GS HR fill out and use that to send around the office to pull for first rounds. 

Hopefully you can still do something about it, but I would not be too concerned at all and probably should relax. Other banks will be fine with interviewing and possibly hiring you. I doubt any of this has anything to do with you specifically.

What NDKid said is not true at all. He clearly has no idea what he is talking about. School recruiters are sent application materials directly from the the school campus recruiting database. The online application is purely a technicality, for the firm's purpose (if they decide to hire or advance you, they need to keep track of it in their own database).

Nobody has called me back, and I dont want to call HR to whine

Except for one senior person in my group who was fired everyone liked me and hooked me up with IBD side which is why I'm surprised this happened.

Confused here but I'll wait for a call from people I talked to earlier today, maybe my resume was really not in the book maybe it was and im just not good enough who knows we'll see

Phoenix09 - you sound like the biggest baby I have ever heard. you should consider yourself blessed you even got to intern at GS FICC because having that on your resume is probably the thing getting you all the other interviews you claim your getting. did you really ask "can someone give me advice how to deal with this..."? Are you joking? Yea, you go have a beer, you make sure your resume is tight as can be and you go get a job at some other bulge bracket that will give you the same pay, similar deal flow (could even be better depending on what group) and stop being a little brat. you got goldman ficc on your resume and you go to a target school, so shut up. you have it better then so many other kids who are out there looking right now for IBD.

Definitley get it checked out, but don't worry if you dont get into goldman, you always have full time. Good luck!

bottom line is that a 3.5 at a target isn't that special, having just gone through the process.  you must not of networked with enough people on your school team in IBD who actually read your resume book - my understanding is that recruiting is done at GS by school team members and not general ibd, unless you are referred.

to everyone else, just be grateful for having any interviews.  get the offers.  and work your ass off this summer to get another offer.  it will be rough out there.

phoenix i know how u feel. i applied online thru all the BBs in asia. got 1st rd phone interviews with ms and ubs but no gs. i have no idea why...werid. it's funny cuz they e-mail me a few weeks ago saying i'm rejected. then they e-mailed me again today saying i was reject...as if once is not enough...lol

i had a 3.8 coming out of haas and got 1 first round interview (with a MM). boo hoo cry me a river

Is there such thing as a blacklist (people that pissed off someone at a BB and his name got circulated around all the BBs and then was rejected by all the places)?
