Hello, I recently applied for an Open Day with White & Case. The Open Day is happening next Tuesday (23 November 2021) and I've not heard the outcome of my application yet. Has anyone heard back from the firm? I don't know if the reason I've not heard back is because I've been rejected 😭 😭 I just wished they would tell me so I can stop checking my emails every day

I’ll be honest, if it is happening on Tuesday it’s unlikely to be an invitation to the day at this late stage.

You're right. They just emailed me 30 mins ago to say that I've been rejected. Although I was expecting it, it still hurts 😭 😭 😭 I really wanted to include what I learned from this open day in my cover letter too.
