    Hey I seem to recall this happening to me last cycle. I think I just deleted an extra word. But definitely email Grad Rec and explain the issue if you've done everything you can and nothing helps.

    Hey - I got my rejection for Travers Smith this morning. They said that I can reapply for a Spring or Summer application and said that I can copy and paste my winter vacation scheme application. Do you think this means I can change/improve it or that I have to apply with the exact same cover...

    Hey, I just got a post-WG rejection from NRF too. It is disappointing but you can't let it get you down - there's success coming up on the horizon so you just have to keep trying. Hold this as an opportunity to learn and be resilient, and definitely don't give up.
