[QUOTE="sm99, post: 175183, member: 4953"] Just wanna say to anyone who has been rejected post-AC, once the initial disappointment wears off, to take some time to evaluate the experience. I’ve reached ACs with certain firms like CMS before and wasn’t successful - but ahead of finding that out, I knew it wasn’t the right firm for me just based on how I felt in the process. The ac being a two way street thing is so so true. You definitely get a feel / sense of a firm by how they treat you in the AC and how the interview goes, so don’t take that for granted. I reached AC with CMS twice and they encouraged me to reapply but I never have and never will, because now 2 years on, from having a few more experiences I know exactly what I value in firms and I’ve had such a shift in the firms that I apply to, and CMS does not fit that criteria for me anymore (and I don’t think it ever did) I think a lot of people get wrapped up in certain prestige and by what everyone else judges the “perfect” firm to be but everyone’s checklists are different so don’t get sweeped up in that. I’m doing much better this cycle now that I’ve taken some time to really think logistically through my choices and look into other firms that I used to close off, because I used to think they weren’t “prestige” enough. Hope that ramble makes sense :) [/QUOTE]
