[QUOTE="James Carrabino, post: 90255, member: 16764"] I'm really sorry to hear this [USER=15210]@John Doe[/USER]. Personally, I am not a fan of firms asking candidates to do SJTs with the plan of not even reading their application if they are unsuccessful in the SJT. I think this can discourage a lot of applicants who love the firm in question, as I don't think SJTs are really firm-specific and so the knowledge one builds up about the firm does not end up being helpful in the SJT. Anyway, we've all had an experience like yours and it's very upsetting, but the work you put into your application definitely won't go to waste. I'm sure that you can recycle material from the questions that are not specific to A&O as you spent time getting them really polished and you can draw inspiration from the kinds of points you brought up in your A&O-specific questions. Putting a lot of time into one app is a great learning experience for future apps and whilst you may be disappointed that you won't be progressing with A&O, trust me when I say that you'll end up at a firm you love even more!
