How will a previous Superday affect my chances in an interview?

Hi all,

Interviewed at a BB/EB last year for a Summer analyst role in a non-traditional wing (Think PJT Camberview, Evercore Activism/Defense and the likes), and got a superday but didn't get an offer. Should I mention this in my cover letter for the FT role? They've specifically asked to write a sample on why I'm interested. Should I bring it up in my interviews? 

Any and all help is appreciated, thanks!

Yes, mention it in your cover letter. It shows you're a serious candidate and highlights your relevant experience. In interviews, bring it up if it fits the conversation, focusing on what you learned and your continued interest. Keep it positive and concise!
