Does attending events after the interview make a difference in admission odds?

To show continued interest, yes, but in terms of outcomes, not sure. The best levers to pull to increase your chances are a better test score, or a professional or extracurricular promotion or achievement. Not bad to get a referral too.

You don't have to attend too many events because it becomes diminishing returns. You can continue to show interest in 25% of the time by keeping admissions updated with *significant* news (aka what you'd update your resume with) over email.

Don’t think so, if you did attend before they most likely have a log attached to your file

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I am hearing that MBB is pausing majority of the interviews - should I be worried about my offer getting rescinded? I luckily got my offer a few months ago and received my signing bonus already.

When an organization is not adequately staffed, be sure increase the number of meetings to address how to allocate people. Forcing negotiations at multiple org levels around the same decisions will ensure everyone is totally aligned.

This accomplishes three things:
1) Everyone is mad at each other since they’re competing for people
2) They’re confused and not able to pay attention to the root issue of chronic under staffing
3) They’re distracted from blaming mgmt for the root cause.
