BB and E Boutique timelines

Hey guys,

Basically been submitting online apps and emailing my credentials (ie CV, cover letter, etc) to many banks out there. I come from a non-target school and I have a decent GPA with great experience.

My question to you is, at this point (Sept 9, '12) are bulge brackets and e boutiques going to be devoid of additional spots for candidates in situations like myself (ie w/o connections, w/o on-campus interviews, and this far along the timeline)?

I like to think that there is still the opportunity to land an interview with someone like JPM or LZ, but from what I hear, the majority of the big banks and successful boutiques aren't really hiring past their summer analyst pools this year, and even if they are there's the pre-selected interviews, then the target school interviews, and then the non-target.

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
