[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 174640, member: 2672"] It could be a couple of things then: 1) They may feel you wouldn't benefit from the open day if you have significant legal experience already (depending on what your work experience entries you did include were). Sometimes open days are offered as a way to build up people's experience or allocated to those who will most benefit from attending, and it may have been the case that they felt you didn't need the open day. or the complete opposite and 2) As you didn't include the other open days with other US firms they may have felt your interests were not as well aligned to the firm. Either way, I wouldn't let this stop you from applying from the firm again. But I would definitely include the other open days next time if/when you do apply to the VS. Not all US firms will be looking for the same things though, and so it maybe that Kirkland just was looking for something different in applicants to the two other US firms you have secured opportunities with.
