I don't think so I'm just (stupidly) trying to look out for signs

 

[TheArch]

I just got one too, for the vac scheme. Did they also say in your email that you did well but the criteria was strict?

PFO just now

Does anyone (or @Jessica Booker ) know if there are any 'cap' in applying for a TC as a graduate? (e.g. you no longer count as a graduate if you have been working for 2 years or more)

No cap at all.

Hi Jessica,

what is the etiquette on emailing firms about the status of your application? Haven’t heard from Slaughter yet and wondering if it is acceptable to email them as I am interviewing for final round with another firm…

mine just updated to 'completed '... might be a rejection since all of the previous apps I did also show as 'completed'.

Thoughts on applying to a firm where I rejected an open day invite? It was an application-based invite, and I was lucky to receive it (only 15-20 were invited), but I couldn't attend at the last minute due to personal circumstances. I did email the firm to tell them this at the time. Is there any point in applying for a TC with the firm when I rejected the open day invite? @Jessica Booker any thoughts on this would be great TIA
