Just got rejected from Paul Weiss's Open Day on 22 September. I had ticked yes to all three open day options – am assuming that this is a 'no' for all three, in that case? Is it worth applying for the VS? Feeling very demoralised, as I had spent ages on it :(

Hi, I was also rejected from Paul, Weiss' Open Day on 22nd September and expressed an interest in attending any one of the three available days. In my rejection email I was told: 'Please note that this decision pertains solely to the Open Day on 22 September and does not affect any other applications you may have submitted to Paul, Weiss.'

May i ask who do you expressed you interest to? Did you just email the Recruiter?

Ah I was also told this! Do you think that this means that we're still under consideration for the other two? I think I just assumed that one Open Day rejection would mean that the others were a 'no' too. (I've had such terrible luck with Open Days before, so maybe I'm being overly pessimistic – and fingers crossed that this means we are still in the running for one of the other days then 💛)

I assumed that it meant that the other two open days were still a possibility given that we've yet to hear back on those but I'm not sure for certain. Fingers crossed we are still in the running!
