Placement results are hitting inboxes this morning, feeling pretty thankful that I got one of my top choice considering the crapshoot placement can be sometimes.
Did most people get one of their top groups? Anyone get shafted with a random group?

How much did you network?
Bump
Bro def got shafted 🤣
Nah the retail Chase branch in Greensboro really was his top choice
Which group did you get placed into?
Got into my top choice. Ranking and interest were communicated at the end of the process already but still felt relieved cuz of the horror stories I’ve heard
Top choice - thank the lord. Didn't do too many calls tbh - just 4.
Did anyone get cooked? As far as I know everyone got their first choice, groups seemed pretty transparent on if they were placing you first or not
Heard of some kids getting cooked. Overwhelming majority of my contacts got their first choice or something within top 3. The ones that didn’t, did not know about having that conversation with sponsor in the last week.
Communicated with my top choice beforehand, thought there wouldn't be any surprises but it turned out I didn't end up there... super weird
did u end up top 3?
