Second Chance

I interviewed with a couple firms now for FT and made it to all the superdays only to be rejected, I am now contemplating delaying my graduation a semester (my parents don't mind) in order to not only get a SA role, but also be able to get a FT role when it comes time to recruiting again. Banking is what I want to do and I don't want to give up just yet. My question is for the firms I got rejected from, will they even consider me again 1 year later or is it kind of a situation where if you get rejected once you're done......and also on that note if I have an internal contact from the banks I got rejected from, is it wrong for me to reach out to them AGAIN and explain that I have delayed my graduation and was wondering if they can help me get looked at for SA or should I be saving the favor for when it comes time to FT again? sorry for all the questions, just really worried about being annoying to these guys.

They will reconsider you. I interviewed with some BBs more than once (same division).
