    I want to apply to this. But my VS app is outstanding. I wish they'd just decide already.

    White & Case - any rejections post-app? Still being considered for other schemes. Anyone else in the same boat? They are a dream firm lol.

    I feel the same way, honestly. You can always take a break. 2021-22 - I didn't apply at all. It's not a rejection yet though. Morgan Lewis only started replying recently.

    Goodwin rejection - thought app was decent. Two rejections in one day - oops.

    I never got a response either. Maybe I’ve dodged a bullet here. Pretty shoddy from the firm, honestly.

    @Jessica Booker is 2018 work experience too old? I want to include everything ideally. Thanks in advance for your advice.

    I honestly don’t know the answer. If felt important to include it, honestly. It was competitive to get it. I haven’t changed much since 2018! That’s why I’m still making applications. Work experience also includes gap year. I feel like including everything really. It's all experience and should...

    I applied to an open day. They invited me to this instead.

    You have a positive attitude though. I have actually given up before. Took two years off applying once. I feel the same way, honestly. But Freshfields is just one firm. They just have too many steps. Other firms get by with fewer. Good luck with your other apps.
