I can’t imagine how your feeling I’ve applied to my firm and haven’t heard yet

but because you work there maybe they might give you so hints and tips for next time or tell you where you fell down? Spending on what stage of the process you was? Xx

Thanks xx I hope it goes better with your firm!

Yes, I am planning on getting in touch with GR internally and hopefully will be able to get some feedback!

Did anyone else struggle how to approach Ropes & Gray's commercial question? I went with SPACs, BRI, and Supply Chain management as areas for the firm to target for work but think I may have missed the point completely lol
I did SPACs as one of mine last year - talked it through with an associate I know there (who had done some APAC SPAC work) And he thought it was a good shout - did not, however, get through.

The key thing in my approach - which, though unsuccessful, was I think a good approach - was to look at the firm's existing strengths and how to leverage these into new opportunities.

I applied for the HSF summer vac but realised that the dates wouldn't work out and asked grad rec to change me over to the spring one which I received confirmation that they did but haven't heard anything since the deadline and have been seeing that others were required to do a blended assessment? my portal says 'company not interested' but when I click into the application, it says status: applied - should I email grad rec to clarify whether they have received my application or not??

    Mine was so wild 😭😭 I spoke about the pay war ( fair enough ) but then the meta verse / nfts and building a presence in Latin America . It’s honestly a mess but I started the app so I felt like why not finish it I guess
