BB waitlist question

So I had the superday 2 weeks ago...they got back to me a week later saying I was still a strong candidate and they would let me know in a week (wait-listed)....Just got back to me and they said I was still a strong candidate, but they still had another superday and would let me know next week....soooo what's the deal? Has anyone ever got an offer 3 weeks after the superday? Am I gonna need the luck of the irish for this to work or what?

There's no way you will be able to find your rank on the waitlist. But FYI it is possible--I was on hold for 3 weeks during recruiting before getting the offer--generally what happens is they will wait until the end of their last superday, and then will see how many spots are left/if they liked anyone better than those at that superday and give offers to the top x on the waitlist

(the reason i say this is because I know someone else who got an offer who was on hold the same day as I did--the firm waited until the last superday ended and then sent offers to everyone who was high enough on the waitlist)

^^^^^^ this

 

leverage, did you follow up with your interviewers? i've been on hold with a bb for 3 weeks and haven't done anything about it (just because i was told it wouldn't help to express interest again). anything i can do to help? or is it just a waiting game

I touched base with HR about once a week (actually they would generally call me, but I did shoot them questions I had from time to time). But never with any of my interviewers...generally once the interviews are over and immediate decisions are made they are no longer involved in the process, since other people likely did the other interviews. I did send them thank you notes after the interviews, but never anything else. Although I did get a congrats from one of the interviewers once I received the offer. Have you been in contact with HR somewhat regularly?

 

I interviewed almost 3 weeks ago and got an email a week after my interview from HR saying i was put on hold and they would get back to me as soon as they could (so this was 1 week ago). I replied to the email and thanked them for letting me know about my status and told them i was still really interested. i never reached out to my interviewers but i did sent them thank you notes and got a few responses back. i guess i'll hear back this week, but i'm not feeling too lucky because i already know one person who accepted an offer. and it's a super small group..
