Not selfish at all - it’s a standard request to ask for a direct TC process when declining a VS place. The firm will be used to having this question posed to them and will have a fairly standard process/policy on how they will respond to the request.
Hahaha thanks Amma! 😊Love to see this Rapunzel! What a lovely way to start off the week.. this is the energy the world needs! The name is also really befitting haha!
I would recommend sending an email in this situation. It allows you to follow up professionally while giving them the space to respond when convenient. An email also helps ensure your message is clear and documented, which is often preferable when enquiring about opportunities like this.
It’s completely normal to feel this way right now, but try to see this as a sign that you’re on the right path. Being told you were close means that they saw your potential, your skills, and your ability to succeed. That recognition is huge, and it’s something you can build on. Use this moment to reflect, improve, and come back even stronger. Rejection isn’t the end of the road; it’s just a detour that brings you closer to the right opportunity. Keep pushing forward, stay resilient, and remember that every step, even the setbacks, brings you closer to where you want to be. You've got this. And we’re rooting for you, always! 🚀🚀🚀PFO post-interview from one of my top firms...Feeling defeated, especially because they said I was very close to making it
Wow, congratulations on the Bates Wells VS offer! It’s amazing how things work out when you least expect it, and this is just the beginning of many more exciting opportunities to come your way. You’ve earned it, and I hope you take a moment to really appreciate how far you’ve come. Congratulations once again! 🚀🚀🚀💃
Unfortunately no one will be able to answer this apart from the firm.
