Had a superday recently, and I was curious what's the standard waiting time for the decision turnaround for BB regional offices? It's obviously a much smaller team, so I would expect something sooner than later, but I wanted to hear some realistic expectations.
I'm assuming if I don't hear back by tomorrow, then it's pretty much a rejection.

Safe to assume if you hadnt heard back for the past 24 hours since the superday it's a ding or waitlist usually regardless of the region for 90% of the time.
Gotcha, so ig tmrw really is the deadline before I'm cooked
For me, the longest it took was 24 hours and generally heard back the evening of the spd. Just being realistic here, know how it feels brother.
is this for DB/Citi type of regional office?

I think it could potentially take more than a day and is more likely to take longer vs NY BB IB. Just would be patient.
Interesting, but I hope this is the case. I would imagine a smaller team would reach a deliberation faster than it would be for NY though
