yesterday I god a rejection from K&E vac scheme.
so I resent the same application to its TC because I thought that the main reason of my vac scheme application was to submit too late.

However, I found out that in my TC application, I clicked "No" in "Have you applied to Kirkland & Ellis International LLP before? Please state the year and position applied for*"

would that be ok?

Hey Heather! To be really honest with you, this might count against you if you don't rectify it with Grad Rec. Their first thought might be that you're trying to hide that you've already applied, even though that's not the case.

I'd go for an email, or, if you think you can come across well, I'd give them a call - it's a bit more personal.
