Return Offer Stories

What are the saddest/craziest stories you guys have about you or someone else in your group not receiving a return offer for X reason?

I hear anecdotes on this chat about people who thought they did great and didn’t get an RO, and then of course there are the more obvious ones. Want to bring awareness to this for 2026 summer analysts so we have more clarity on the process.

Also name : categorize your bank if you can !
