What's Left for FLDPs?

Senior at an extreme non target here, gotten some interviews for F100 fldps but haven't gotten any offers yet(either made it to superday and came up empty or didn't get to Superday). I realize that F100 might be ambitious given my background of extreme non-target and not having any internship that anyone would recognize so wondering if all fldps are done or if there's anything I should be on the lookout for.

I know our (F250) FLDP had a smaller second round of recruiting in the early spring to basically fill all of the slots that people declined / had more positions open up. However, I want to say there was maybe 25-30 openings for fall recruiting, and only 5-10 in spring, I'm also not sure if those 5-10 spots are more competitive due to people freaking out about offers in spring semester or less competitive because all of the high performers have already signed offers.

Keep your head up though and keep grinding, I ended up as non-FLDP financial analyst in F250 and didn't receive my offer until april/may senior year, and this was going to a semi-target and not having any brand names on my resume other than school.

 

My answer is similar to @StoicHoosier - My FLDP class interviewed and was hired in the fall, but we had someone reneg, so they hired two more people into the program in the spring. I have heard that other FLDP's (typically for the companies that are smaller than F200) hire later in the year.

Don't give up! Check websites frequently for open positions- Maybe set up a RSS feed for the companies that you are most interested in. I went to an extreme non-target and made it into a top defense FLDP by showing my desire, hunger, and drive. I had a mediocre GPA too (3.4-3.5)
