Applying again with new email

I recently applied for a FT position in IBD (solid boutique). I know quite a few people in the firm and wrote a strong app. Unfortunately I didn't pass one of the online tests (due to poor testing conditions but i thought i could do it anyway) and so all this effort/connections went to waste. Should i reapply again under a new email or will this result in an auto rejection? Alternatively, I could apply again under another email and highlight that I applied previously so it doesn't seem like I'm trying to trick HR. There doesn't seem to be any policy on reapplications on their website and in theory they haven't even read my application. Thoughts?

Change your identity while you're at it, along with some plastic surgery.

Consumption smoothing is retarded. If you stay in this game for a handful of years, money will be the least of your worries. Live it up, because this is the one time in your life where you might actually have time to spare.
 

Most firms usually place a warning after you initially click withdraw that often states you won't be allowed to re-apply to that division at all. Not sure if GS has that rule but JPM/MS did

 

Would they "catch" it if I made a new account and resubmitted? It's not like I have two applications outstanding, since the first one was withdrawn.

Never had problems with JPM/MS withdrawals when I was recruiting (had 2-3 accounts at each) but I know that Goldman (at least 3 years ago) took the "withdrawals" pretty seriously. I remember a friend telling me that when you "withdraw" the system automatically flags the account and its pretty useless at that point. So definitely create a new account and apply that way. At least if you don't get this job you'll be able to get something else. Hope it helps. Good luck.
