For reapplications, is the 12 month wait period absolutely stringent or is there a way the firms can waive it?

Hi,

In most cases, you should wait for 12 months, given the reasons why you got rejected may not change drastically during this period.

There are some exceptions. For instance, I only waited for 10 months after my rejection, and I still received an interview offer. However, I got rejected during the second round of interviews, and that could be the reason why they wanted to give me another chance.

Best,

Deniz

Hi,

It depends on whether you have a reference. Without one, 12 months is standard and strict. With a strong reference (e,g, from a Partner), I've seen people get interviews within 4-6 months. Hope this helps!
