Do you think it’s still worth applying to Gibson if their app deadline tommorow and it’s rolling?
If you like the firm, I would still apply. With only roughly 13 trainee spots, I would expect most of their TCs are recruited through vac schemes given those numbers.

In fact, their Chambers Student Guide profile says; "Training contract deadline: Recruits exclusively through vac scheme"
 
This is not an application related but is it only me or anyone else finding the forum slow today when posting or reacting to posts. As I have been finding the loading stuff on the forum really slow today compared to usual.
Hey Asil,

Could you PM me with a little more detail about the problems you are experiencing and I’ll look into this?

Thank you Jessica! I was just a bit hesitant because they are rolling so could be plucking at straws since I’ll be applying so late

You’ve got to be in it to win it. Not applying means the earliest chance you’ll have is in 10-11 months time and that won't be for something that starts until the summer of next year (nearly an 18 month wait!).

If it helps with your decision, my two ACs this week are with firms that were rolling and I applied on the deadline. You will never know unless you put in an application!
