How many times can you recruit?

Do you know how many times someone could go through recruitment (OCR)?

As FT approaches, I've been wondering (as I'm sure many others have) if you went through this year's SA recruitment, then go through FT recruitment in the fall, didn't get a good offer to replace your summer offer/offer at all, could you recruit again for SA 2013 (assuming you delay graduation)?

If you delay graduation, you're going to have access to your career center's OCR system again, yes. The weird thing, though, would be justifying the entire situation to HR at the firms you're reapplying to. You'd have different interviewers, but HR (the gatekeepers) might pose a minor problem.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

HR doesn't pick OCR candidates, the campus recruiting team does. Someone will likely remember your resume, but if it's decent, you might get a second/third shot. If you were a borderline candidate before, maybe you've improved. Also, if you were passed over for an interview before, they probably won't remember you so you may get a chance to interview with a few firms that you didn't get previously.

If money isn't an object and you're not bored of college, then there isn't much downside.
