JP SA interview joke

My friend had an interview with JP Morgan for an SA position and at the end of the interview they told everyone enthusiastically, "Make sure you have your phone on you, you'll get a call in a couple hours." Then, they didn't call anyone except the two kids they gave offers to. Imagine a bunch of ivy leaguers nervously sitting by their phone for 2 days!

I doubt it too that JPM would intentionally do such - must have been a misunderstanding in conveying the right message - though, if it did actually happen, it is pretty hilarious!
