Listed as an alternate for final round

Received an email about two weeks after I interviewed for an IB SA position saying I'm listed as an alternate for the final round interviews.

Main questions: Can a senior contact push you through? Has anyone received something similar to this in the past and ended up getting a final round. If so, was it a waiting game or did you reach out to your network.

Thanks
