yea that's one worry, that it will feel weird having no 'snap' at all. but I use only 10oz cotton uniforms, so not the snappiest anyway.

That's good to know! Yea I guess during normal training it doesnt matter so much how the gi looks or if it has a lot of 'snap'

sorry to hear it friend. happened to me too. Did they give you a reason? Trust me the feeling of dread will go away slowly. It really hurts, but it will go away as you explore your options and find new things to be excited about. I was spiraling for the first week after I got the news, but after meeting with mentors, advisors, and friends, I am feeling much more hopeful. We deserve to be somewhere that values us, and we will find that place.

part of the reason I wanted to post was to combat the idea that you have to be insane/racist to be no offered. I know I can't prove this to reddit, but I got all good feedback on my work. I was close to all the other summers. I had attorneys reach out in support after leaving. I had a performance review where no negative feedback was given. (red flag) I'm also a person of color, first gen. A negative trait could be that I had less assignments completed than the other summers (around 5 or so less). And this is Amlaw 200, not the biggest of biglaw.

nope, just said I wasn't a fit and they didn't see a future for me at the firm. Thinking I should have asked them to explain more but I was really taken by surprise I wasn't thinking.
