BofA SA 2021 - 'Application under consideration'

I start by saying that I think that mine question is a quite silly one, but I am quite inexperienced in Investment Banking interviews and I would like to be sure of what to think.

I had applied to BofA Summer Analyst position in London and since the second week of October I keep on receiving every two weeks on Monday an email stating that 'Your application ... is under consideration. We will be in touch with you at our earliest opportunity on the next steps of your application'.
Does it mean anything? On a first sight I thought it could mean that I would get a 1st round [I almost never received such types of messages, except for one time in which I finally had the interview], but as nothing happens, I'm thinking that it is just a default message. Is it? 

Thank you all and sorry if you find the post as silly, but I've never read of such repetitive  messages from BofA in WSO so far.

Sadly those are automated messages that mean nothing. Their SA is probably 99% full since they have been doing ACs since early October. My girlfriend got the offer very early October and they have been handing them out every week since then.

To retain your sanity I would suggest assuming that you were rejected and pursuing other opportunities in the meantime.

 

It is indeed confusing. Banks don't actually give a damn about candidates, they just want to keep you on the hook in case they need to do another batch of interviews etc.
