    Same- pretty depressing tbh, I thought I wrote a really good application.
    As if the Macfarlanes rejection wasn't enough, W&C rejection. The final firm I'm waiting on doesn't even give PFOs so I'm assuming this is the end of the cycle for me. So upset and really don't know what I'm going to do going forward. I've already been a year out of uni and just don't think I have another application cycle in me
