Non-target, no RO bc my intern project had a few mistakes but I was slammed the final week acknowledged by my team and was given the project 2 weeks after they were supposed to. Got dinged by people who I didn't work with, but the people in my group argued my work product on the job was great. Internal politics did their thing and and low and behold the nepo kid got it. So now I'm here without an RO, but a rich pipeline of interviews, 2 referrals from a junior and senior in my deal team and potentially one from an MD who I was told really liked me. GPA 3.8, 2 past internships, one I returned to in the fall w good references as well. Diversity. What's the go-forward?

Also I'm sure this is raw and just ranting, but you can't both admit you had mistakes and then blame it on everyone else + bring in the nepo kid... you've gotten tighten that up and reflect on what happened, because the first question anyone is going to ask you is "why didn't you get a return?". There's just way too many people on here who think their work was fantastic and it was all rigged. That's 99% of the time not the answer. Banks are just simply not in the business of not hiring very strong interns, chances are something was off and you didn't realize it.
Ngl some of the interns this summer are absolute dogshit. Prob the symptom of way to early recruitment + Covid education in the first few years of college.
