I'd definitely keep interviewing. BoA/ML is not doing so hot right now, if you got another offer from a stronger bank you'd most likely want to take it. It can't hurt to keep trying, you can always fall back on BoA. Congrats btw.

Better watch out man... This is from DealBreaker (http://dealbreaker.com/2009/02/bank-of-america-got-no-love-fo.php#comme…) earlier today; a former first year S&T analyst at BofA recently sent this over to them:

So far, BofA has laid off almost all of its 28 sales and trading first year analysts (5 or 6 remain, some of their desks haven't been through the "deselecting" process.)

For a bank that talked a lot in training about the strength of their "junior pipeline" - they sure don't actually give a shit. This includes firing analysts who were hired through on-campus recruiting programs at Princeton, Georgetown, UNC, Yale, etc. Incoming analyst class, beware!
