[QUOTE="Al1793, post: 24006, member: 4979"] Hi Jessica, I would really value some advice regarding reapplying to law firms. This is my second year of applying and last year went relatively well in that I did 8 very focused applications, was only rejected from 1 outright, and attended 3 ACs at my top 3 firms. Although ultimately unsuccessful, I felt I had come very close and that this cycle would be easier given my experiences and feedback from last round. However, although I've secured a summer vac scheme, I find I'm getting far more rejections this round, and all the firms I've reapplied to have rejected me, despite the fact my applications were improved versions of ones they previously progressed. When reapplying to firms, would you recommend substantially altering an application, even if it was previously successful? Otherwise, can you think of any other factors which may account for the reduced hit rate? I'm also unsure if putting my upcoming vac scheme on applications has put firms off rather than strengthening my apps. Any advice would be very welcome, feel I'm somehow further from securing a TC then I was last round and to say it's disheartening would be an understatement. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
