I guess I don’t know for certain. I’m being a little pessimistic. I would still hold out and hope for the best!How do you know that there’s little hope? I’m just waiting on them so don’t want to have any amount of optimism!

Maybe I’m just a perennial optimist, but I’ve only seen a couple of people have Travers interviews on here and they’re a popular firm, so I’d expect more. Someone who had one last cycle said they heard early March too about an interview.I saw a travers summer offer on linkedin!
there goes my hope lol💀
@Shreya Verma created a whatsapp gc about this.
I get you and not I know of but dw I keep myself anonymous on there also.Ooh ok, that’s helpful to know thank you
Is there a TCLA version of this because I’d rather keep anonymous, I feel bit embarrassed about my situ and law is small world
Said this to so many people, but there’s absolutely no need to feel embarrassed. I feel year on year the competition is getting stiffer and almost everyone who applies is a strong candidate, so it’s not as if you’re doing anything wrongOoh ok, that’s helpful to know thank you

It’s not necessarily a bad thing but showing your interests or knowledge spread across a wider range of topics is never a bad thing at the same time, so if you can use other examples I would try to where you can.Is it necessarily a bad thing to mention the same deal a firm worked on in a video interview as you did in the written application ? I'm not sure if they compare the VI to the written app or not
You could ask them to consider you for the direct training contract instead. I did it with Dentons last year and they were very fine with it so you might want to send an email to graduate recruitment.I’ve applied to W&C’s summer vacation scheme but wouldn’t be able to attend the dates anyway. I haven’t heard back yet - would it be fine to rescind my application and apply to the direct tc instead (would it have any impact on my tc applicarion?)
Thank you!
I would try to diversify what you say in a video interview to give a different perspective to your application as a whole. When it comes to a deal, if you can, it might be worth mentioning a different one just to show the level of research you have done on the firm.Is it necessarily a bad thing to mention the same deal a firm worked on in a video interview as you did in the written application ?

I'd love to join. I learn with every application I make and at each stage I get to... But it would be great to just be a one-and-done applicant. I know several people who got a TC within just 5 applications. I get through post-app for most firms, can get through case studies, can get through WGT's, SJTs and games-based-tests. But give me a VI or an in-person interview and it just gets messy lol... I have now started to get through VI's after realising recruiters do not like people who read off scripts (which I did for my earlier applications)... Now to work out how to conquer those structured competency based interviews 😭 I just need a partner who wants to just have an informal chat🤣Is there anyone else who is a graduate who has applied several cycles and has rarely made it post-app, who would want to make a group chat where we support each other and share advice we have? If so, please like this and I can get a group chat made because I’m slowly losing faith 🥲
yep i heard back on feb 27 that i have an interview (spring)anything from Russell Cooke?
Which firm is it if you don’t mind me asking?If I can't make a summer VS at a firm I really like, am I able to ask to be considered for a TC instead? I was offered the VS on weds
Don’t see it as a rejection. See it rather as a opportunity for redirectionHow does everyone deal with rejection post AC? Especially when you thought you did relatively well on the day. Finding it so hard to be motivated that eventually I will get to where I want to be 😔
any words from Gibson Dunn???
