I'm not entirely sure how much weight they put on each factor in your application, but I'd apply anyway if you're...- Thom&as

Rejected by Slaughter and May for a direct TC post interview. Not ideal, especially since they are the firm that I have had the most experiences and interactions with, and this rejection essentially means they won't reinvite me to interviews on subsequent applications unless there's a...- Thom&as
