London 2023 SA IBD - No interviews yet, is there any hope?

Recruiting for 2023 SA IBD in London and haven't received any interviews yet. I have proceeded to the tests/hirevue stages with most banks but not heard anything since. Applied as soon as the banks opened their applications. Starting to get worried as I see that ACs and offers are out for many of the banks already. Is there any hope for me or do the banks fill a large part of their spots early?

That really sucks. Honestly I'm a bit surprised and I thought that I should have at least gotten a few interviews. It's possible that this year could be harder though. Nothing to back this up, but a lower intern headcount would be reasonable given the market environment. With lower headcount it gets more competitive, especially given that banks can easier fill the positions with high-quality diversity candidates, which are always prioritized. More likely that I just suck at HireVues though.
