    Did anyone else struggle how to approach Ropes & Gray's commercial question? I went with SPACs, BRI, and Supply Chain management as areas for the firm to target for work but think I may have missed the point completely lol

    I failed mine yesterday, got rejected this morning. Remember that they clearly saw something in you for you to have made it to the AC, that doesn't happen by accident. If it didn't go well, it's an opportunity to learn and improve, and then reapply next time. Keep moving forward, you've got this!
