Just invited to Mishcon Race Open day. However, my application has been transferred to the online event instead of the In person one. Is there a reason why this happens? Was my application not strong enough for the In-person Open Day?
It's really easy to rectify - if you let the firm's Grad Recruitment know they'll tell you what to do about it. I made a mistake on one of my apps and it was fine, I just had to attach an additional note to it.

Hey @jojo23 , this is not an issue in itself and it wouldn’t significantly impact your application. However, if you feel the need to amend it you should email graduate recruitment with more details on the omission.

Hey @bangarangbass39 , congratulations on getting the open day! I believe it was more of an issue on capacity, rather than your application not being strong enough. Both the virtual and in-person open days would likely cover the same information, so make the most of it! It was likely a situation of early allocation, where those that submitted very early were able to get a spot in-person. If anything, I think it’s that they thought your application was good enough to lead to the virtual transfer, regardless of the availability of in-person spots.

Hey @asplawyer100. I’m sorry to hear about the PFO. Rejections are tough. But please remember to take a breather and keep going! Whenever I had gotten a PFO, I had a dessert ritual. I’ll go get ice cream and waffles from my favorite spot across town. It helped me cultivate a long term growth mindset into making those applications possible. You got this!

Huge congratulations on the Open Day @sammm10101 . This is amazing. I hope you have a fantastic time!
Thank you, Amma. I appreciate you clarifying this. I applied on the 4th, scheme was open to applications on the 1st. So I don't even know. But as you said, the info is the same so I'll make the most of it.
Thank you, both of you (@VMS ). I have noticed on the application portal that you do have the option to submit extra info (wc). The only thing that's worrying me is that I submitted the application on the 6th so a fair amount of time has passed although, I'm not sure if it makes a difference (I wouldn't say it's an important grade).
does anyone have any insight on the DLA VI questions / format? thank you!

I’ve read somewhere it’s one minute to prepare and 2 minutes to speak but otherwise not sure
Slaughters PFO (post app) + Sidley PFO (post interview)
So sorry! It's really rough when two come in one day.

Hey @jojo23 , you could make the comment on the extra information section of the application, then email graduate recruitment with an update on the change. I presume it’s nothing to worry about as the time lag between when you submitted the application and now is only four days. @Jessica Booker will have more thoughts on this.
