[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 219537, member: 42112"] Hello! I'm really sorry to hear that you received a rejection for the open day, but I would definitely not let that put you off applying for the vacation scheme! Open days and vacation schemes are assessed very differently, and there is usually different criteria for both - the competition is fierce, and not getting through for one doesn't mean you're not what the firm's looking for. Plenty of people will get rejected from open days but go on to secure vacation schemes or even training contracts at the same firm. I would use this as a chance to reflect on your answers and motivations to ensure that you are fully answering the questions, and tighten any examples that you use to make them tailored to the firm. I would 100% still apply! The vacation scheme is a fresh opportunity, and it is always worth giving it a go and applying! Best of luck with your application (if you choose to apply!) :) [/QUOTE]
