If you haven't heard from your first choice office and others have gotten interview invites, does anyone know what this means? Are you rejected, passed on to another office, waitlisted, or still have a chance?

 

Applied Boston, just got the rejection. Got a 3.8 at a target, multiple highly relevant internships, strong leadership + ECs, and made it to final round for ACI last year. Sometimes you just gotta laugh it off and keep pushing, good luck to everyone that got an interview.

Yeah man I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed, but life goes on. Just gonna keep my head up, keep striving, and trust that this is all part of the plan

 

I haven't received a rejection email yet. (Boston FT also) Any chance this means their decisions are rolling, or should i let go of the little hope i still have left

 

Got it. Seems like in general there haven't been an update on SF FT. 

I've reached out to a recruiter and they said expect updates before end of week. Fingers crossed!

 

Got it, thank you for the input. Seems like a few applicants heard back as early as Friday.

AFAIK the SF office is still conducting R1 interviews today. Hopefully other applicants can hear back soon.

 

Anyone else still waiting for the SF office to send out their signup link? They said they would do so today

 

are there any disadvantages applying in the september deadline? I emailed the recruiter and she said there were no disadvantages but not sure realistic this is.
