Having strong legal experience and positions of responsibility should make this easier, but unfortunately even very good applications don’t always convert, particularly with firms like Skadden where the margin for progression is tiny.Try not to read this as a judgment on your overall profile. Rejections at this stage are often about fit, timing, or sheer volume rather than capability - and 5 out of 8, while miserable emotionally, is still very much within the 'normal' range in this process.What does matter is that you’re reflecting, getting applications reviewed, and continuing to apply. One offer is all it takes, and plenty of people who end up with TCs have a similar (or worse) ratio along the way. Just make sure you're leveraging those valuable experiences you have the to their fullest extent. If you are highly specific with examples from these experiences that evidence your competencies, motivations for working in law, and skills - then you will be in a good spot with upcoming applications.  Keep your head up!!</blockquote>
