Big4 Internship Denied

Hi, I am a sophomore and have applied for multiple winter 2014 internships and have gotten accepted for a first round interview already with 3 out the the 4 Big4, what I am wondering is if for some reason I do not get accepted to move on to the second round interviews, and therefore don't get the internship at any of these firms, will I still be able to apply for and interview for an internship again next year at these firms? Or will they not let me interview again because I "had my chance" this year? Thanks a lot.

In my short experience I found them to be pretty understanding. Use your denials as a chance to reflect on what you can improve on, improve on said things, and then reapply next round. If you can back up your "story" there's no reason you can't get another chance with a B4.

OCR might be a little more difficult since it's so structured, but keep the contact info for the partners you interviewed with and they'd probably be open to another go at it.

 

Go talk to the dean of the accounting school / a professor who is connected with the firms and show how interested you are and express how upset you were that you didn't get an offer, etc. Ask them how you can improve your resume / appeal.
