Blacklisted from Dartmouth Partners? What’s going on?

I have generally done well with MM/BB/EB recruiting but I haven’t been getting responses, including both rejection/r1, from Dartmouth for ANY of my applications (mind that they do a BIG bulk of MM SA recruiting in London, and even PWP) until they are at least at AC stage, at which I get dinged - this seems to be at least 6-8 weeks from application. A lot of other people I’ve spoken to who applied even later than I did hear back with at least a rejection within like 2-3 weeks after applying. Last year I would hear back within a few weeks after submission so in comparison timeline is very different this year in my case.

The one time I was surprised was when I was interviewing with CVP directly (not through Dartmouth) but at the same time Dartmouth rejected me from their networking event.

Just trying to understand if anyone has any light as to why this would be? Have advanced with other recruiting agencies like Wiser and Freshminds, just seems to be Dartmouth that’s giving me a hard time.

Could be completely unapplicable to you, but I noticed that they seemed very stringent on graduation dates, so could be auto reject from that

 

I have the same issue of being on their blacklist after my first cycle with them was pretty good (few VIs). But in subsequent years the Dartmouth mafia deemed me unworthy of even a phone screen.
