Just to clarify this. Does anybody know when non-targets usually hear back regarding SA 1st round interviews?
Assume it's after recruiting is done at the targets, but I'm a little worried because I got all my apps in to the major banks about a month ago and still have not heard back from anyone "yes" or "no". Some people on this forum have mentioned that recruitment is almost over, are they just referring to recruitment at the targets?

This is only the first week of school, and US recruiting has only started at the targets. Follow up with your contacts if you need, but I think it's still early. Even for firms who recruit on campus (a non-target to HR, but there's an alum recruiting), I'm only getting first rounds next week.
In the case of non-targets, you usually don't have a first round or a second round. You have just one round. You will hear back when first and second rounds are over for target schools. You will get an invite to a final round or super-day along the time that target schools applicants get an invite to these interviews.
