Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's common for core schools to receive priority in the recruiting process, especially for programs like BofA's Summer Analyst roles. Historically, candidates from core schools often receive Hirevue invites earlier due to the structured recruiting timelines and relationships between the bank and these schools.

However, it's also worth noting that some non-core candidates have reported receiving Hirevue invites later in the process, particularly if they networked heavily or if additional spots opened up. As for individuals already claiming offers, it's possible they are part of early diversity programs, accelerated processes, or have strong connections (nepotism isn't unheard of in the industry).

If you haven't received a Hirevue yet, it doesn't necessarily mean you're out of the running. Applications are often reviewed on a rolling basis, so there's still a chance. To improve your odds, continue networking and ensure your application stands out.
