IB internship waiting list

Has anyone ever been in the waiting list for IB for RO

Strong feedback from group but HR said they would try to find me a seat on the floor for next year

Any advice on how to navigate this? Haven't heard any comms since their last outreach

I was on waiting list for a long time but it got cleared and I could join the same summer.. maybe pure luck! 

But I kept following up on weekly basis with the HR and some other people I knew in the bank ensuring my continued interest. I also let them know when I got offer from a boutique!

 

Thank you for your reply!

I should have clarified, I'm on the waiting list for an RO as I already did my summer: would your advice still be the same?

I also have an offer in hand from another firm.
