Hi, I’m usually a silent reader but it’s really been a tough journey and I’m currently struggling. This is my second application cycle and I was so close to a training contract last year but was rejected after the vac scheme and another AC rejection. This year again got to the last stage for a direct TC at a US firm and another rejection today. Also was rejected after the AC for another firm’s vac scheme &countless application rejections on top of that. Really losing hope and motivation to continue on and was just wondering if anyone had any advice

Does anyone have any insights on Perkins Coie VI?

Congrats! Did you hear back already? I just sent mine in today

Do they give extra time for the video question? Or that needs to be submitted by tomorrow as well?

After 5 application cycles, I received a TC offer today from an elite US firm!

Honestly, I can't quite believe it!

A huge thank you to all the lovely, supportive people on TCLA. The community on here is absolutely phenomenal!
