Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 219519" data-attributes="member: 36777">Hey [USER=31987]@lolololol[/USER] I am very sorry to hear about the rejection, and I completely understand how you must be feeling right now. I can certainly relate to the incredible frustration of being rejected after spending hours and hours researching a firm and then honing an application to perfection. I also definitely relate with how disheartened that can make you feel. This is an experience almost every single successful candidate will know - even the ones who eventually ended up securing multiple offers from top firms. It is important to remind yourself of that so that you do not judge yourself too harshly or deem your situation hopeless. Thus, I think you should internalise the fact that even the most successful candidates are rejected in the vast majority of their applications: a friend of mine who ended the last application cycle with 5 VS offers (including from elite US firms such as Weil, Akin, and White & Case) started the application cycle by being rejected at the application stage 6-7 times in a row. The point is that what matters is not whether you succeed or not with any individual firm, but whether you can be resilient, use your frustration as a source of motivation, and simply show up again and again. You should know that if you keep submitting great applications, and if you keep doing your best to improve yourself as a candidate, you will eventually end up succeeding.</blockquote>
