What is the possibility of getting off the waitlist of JPM ST NYC SA or CITI ST CHICAGO SA

Hi guys,

I have been recruited for three months this year. Applied to over 130 companies, haven't received any offer at all. Currently on the waitlist of JPM NYC ST SA and CITI CHICAGO ST SA. I feel really desperate right now, hoping to gain some energy. Please comment if you know examples getting off these kind of waitlists, so people in my position right now and I can have a better sense of our chance. Anything positive will be greatly appreciated.

He also shared valuable insights into Moelis, including how the firm operates and what sets it apart. I especially appreciated how upfront he was about the lifestyle and working culture, which helped me set realistic expectations and think carefully about my own fit. Overall, it was a genuinely helpful conversation, and I left with practical takeaways.”
