Not Invited to OCR but still have a shot at IBD SA?

Hi All,

I go to a top 20 school in the USA that is considered "core" to a few banks. I have networked hard with said banks (spoken with 8-10 people at each bank), but unfortunately was not invited for an on campus interview with either bank.

Is it still possible /acceptable for me to follow up with my contacts at these banks and try and get a phone interview/ superday invitation?

Has anybody been through a similar situation? Thanks.,
