I'm an idiot. I marked the Bain resume drop for my campus on my calendar as Oct. 31st, not Oct. 21st. I know one person there, but he's a first year and it's not really a strong enough connection to ask him to intervene on my behalf. I emailed the recruiting team to apologize and ask if they would still consider my application, but I haven't heard back (emailed them last night, no response today). Any thoughts/advice? Or am I now recruiting with MB and not MBB?

Analysts/Associates have more say than you might think when it comes to SA and Analyst hiring. Ask your friend to work some magic with HR. It's helped me before at a BB.
^ Nice call, turtles. I kind of shamelessly asked this guy I barely know to put in a good word with HR and he emailed this morning saying that my application will be considered!
Honestly, I tell candidates that all the time, even when it isn't true.
Nice man, good call :)
missed resume submission deadline - screwed? (Originally Posted: 09/12/2006)
for several banks that i am interested in, the resume submission deadline was sept 10.
i'm going to email the recruiters directly and send my resume tomorrow
am i screwed?
probably not. just don't make it a big deal. if you are screwed, nothing you can do about it.
is this on your school's career website? or on the bank's official website? Because you can always try the other option
i missed the school's on campus resume submission deadline
i'm not exactly sure what to say in my letter but instead of coming up with some bs excuse, i was thinking about just being honest and stating that i just simply missed the deadline
maybe say, you just started your job search
if you cant make an on campus deadline how are you gonna survive in the real world...you're screwed...
yea you got me i'm screwed in the real world
at least now you're a "Senior Chimp"
honestly I would just go over to the people at career services and say that you've been planning on applying to these banks and were hoping they could submit your resume along with all of the others if it is not too late -- you missed the deadline but you would really appreciate an opportunity (like the rest of the student body)for a shot at an interview....blablabla
Out of curiosity, why did you miss the deadlines?
I would say that you are screwed. None of these banks will make an exception when they already have 200 kids who submitted their resumes before the deadline.
thats quite early which banks were these
yeah, the major of BB's had deadlines by today (or earlier). The recruiters probably wont think very highly of you, being as you can't even stay on track of resume-submission deadlines
