Ponder this...Doesn't make sense to me

Maybe BB's are way to competitive but can you all help me figure out why this happened?

I have a really smart friend who interned at a BB last summer. He did well and got an offer back. He applied to some random recruiting conference organized by another BB on wall street and got rejected.

My friend's resume is so impressive, I shudder sometimes when I read it. He has BB experience and another with a Fortune 200 company. His extracurriculars are also very impressive and he goes to a target. Why in the world was he rejected to this program?

and no, the BB he interned in was not GS.

 

Well, think of it from a recruiter's perspective. Who are the recruiters going to invite to a recruiting conference? Candidates that they think are qualified AND would accept a potential offer from the firm. Why invite a superstar with an offer if the person is unlikely to accept the offer? That would be a complete waste of time, effort, and money for the firm.
