Yeah, the fact that they only gave 2 full working days for this is ridiculous.

I applied to Travers Smith summer VS but have not received a rejection or acceptance. Should I be worried? Should I be expecting a phone call? I have had some unknown numbers calling me, but I usually just decline them as spam. Do they always send emails?
I'm kinda glad to be PFOed off that, like doing that VI with unlimited prep, ugh.
Does anyone know what the final stage DTC interview for a US firm may look like? I already completed an assessment day (split into 2 exercises + partner interview) and have been progressed to the next round but have no insights for what the interview and assessment could be? Does anyone know what I could be possibly assessed on?
Congratulations! Hope it went well. Was this for the VS or TC? I applied for VS and haven't heard anything yet. I have gotten calls from unknown numbers, but I usually decline them, thinking they're spam. Did they send an email after the call, or was it just the call?
As I am (sadly) fast running out of options for getting a TC for 2028 I am looking at self-funding the PGDL in September. But I have just read about the Barbri Foundations in Law course which only costs £499 and, they say, is all you need as a non-law graduate before doing the SQE. Seems a bit strange that it’s enough compared to 9 months of PGDL… does anyone have any experience of it please?
I can't say about Barbri but I will say that there are student loans available if you do a masters with the PGDL!
Start of a new week 🌻🌷🌸 good luck to everyone expecting to hear back from firms this week!! We've got this🙏🙏🙏
Received an email for the Blake Morgan phone interview invite.
No, I checked the portal too, still says “application under review”
Hey @Abbie Whitlock
Hope you had a good weekend!!
I’ve heard people say DTC applications usually need a lot more detail/time compared to VS ones. Did you find you spent more time on your DTC applications?
The only DTC application I’ve progressed with was just a personal statement, so I’m not totally sure how much time to put into a DTC application when it has 3–4 questions like a VS application.
I also think I sometimes overthink it to the point where it sounds too polished and lacks that personal touch.
