[QUOTE="LegallyBrown, post: 145580, member: 29628"] Dear Reader, I got a rejection (and for some reason this one hurt worse than my break-up). I mean.... it was kind of expected - the behemoth that Kirkland & Ellis is, but after spending 6 whole days on the application, and feeling as though I got a good grip of the news article I chose (having worked as part of the team on that matter myself - don't worry I did not disclose any confidential information in case the SRA is lurking) it still hurt. The funny thing is, the minute the email came into my inbox, I dared open it, instead, I was busy fantasising about all the things I would say in my interview. 5 minutes of my life I will never get back. Anyway... I'm glad I tried, to be honest the research into their private equity deals really helped me with my LPC... so I guess "thank you"? In terms of being productive, I managed to sacrifice my time in France and worked on my White & Case application. I am not going to lie, I always think my applications are amazing, and then I write another one and think that one is better. I say this because I got rejected by White & Case in the past, and although I thought my first application was the best, and somehow they were conspiring against me - having written this one, I can say my first application was awful. This is not to say that I am 100% confident that I will get to the next stage, just that I am noticing the development that comes with rejection, and I must say, it is not all that bad. In terms of next steps, I have my eye on Macfarlanes and maybe Addleshaw Goddard. However, my LPC does come first, and given the upcoming exams I don't know if I can commit to another application right now but I will try. If I do, you'll here about it in the next post. See you then. Regards, LegallyBrown [/QUOTE]
