[QUOTE="elle woods, post: 243525, member: 43292"] [IMG alt="Heart Love GIF"]https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTZhYjVjZjE1YzA2Z3F4MmxxeGFmNnhqM3hvMjhtYmQxbDl0N3BqYzU3cXlvOWtqbiZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/vTCETP0M7xWXROtHR5/200.gif[/IMG] First of all, it is NOT a reflection of you AT ALL. I know it can feel extremely demoralising and like it's an attack on you as a person, but trust me, they've only had like 4hrs to see you, that is NOT you at all. And remember, different firms look for different things - perhaps your legal reasoning and use of jargon would've impressed partners at a US firm for example. I am really proud of you for getting this far - take some time off for yourself and push on forward soldier! Rejections do not define you - like I said earlier today, applying to firms is like dating - if you're not a match for each other, then it would be a disservice for both you and them to continue the relationship - I trust you will find the one (law firm) for yourself!! And a lot of the times, these outcomes are a result of a mixture of luck, timing, and mood etc. You could get lucky and get a partner that resonates well with you, or the opposite could happen too. Don't hinge your self-worth on these things - it's not accurate at all. You are clearly really bright to have made it to the AC, and it sounds like you did really well overall! Good job, and use this opportunity as an experience to take forward with you in the future - whether as motivation, improvement, or overall personal growth. This hits home for me too, I also got PFOed post AC today - let's both do our best going forward okay? 💗 [/QUOTE]
