Thank you for taking the time to interview with the Investment Banking Division at Goldman Sachs. Unfortunately we’ve had to make some tough decisions, and we will not be pursuing your candidacy any further. We regret that we cannot accommodate everyone, but we wish you the best of luck in the recruiting process!
Regards,
The Investment Banking Recruiting Team

Feels weird because I thought the interview went really well. I guess I feel a little upset to get a rejection, but I don't feel devastated, either. I'm not sure if I should try for more banks, or just go with McKinsey and consulting firms. I don't mean to sound cheesy, but this really could be a blessing in disguise, because if I do consulting (or even the one law firm I interviewed with, which, incidentally, I have not heart back from even though another friend has) then I can split the summer with a human rights organization.
Off to the gym! :)

PS: I *just* realized that they probably never took my candidacy seriously in the first place, which is why we just spent the 30 minutes talking and having a good time. They can't screen the candidates that bid on them, so they might as well make the best of their time with someone they feel certain isn't a fit. Too bad!
