Nope haven't heard anything yet - I think you could also interpret their email as we'll hear back next week but either way I don't think it'll be long

I'm currently waiting to hear from RPC. I have seen in this thread and online that RPC's final summer vacation scheme ends today so they will probably make TC decisions for them before they move onto direct TC apps!
Ah right okay! That makes sense- I know their assessment centres are mid aug!
Hey I haven’t yet but I applied later on so they may be working their way through!
Fingers crossed for us bothI am quite shocked by this but I just got through to the interview at Mishcon de Reya. Does anyone have any tips? (especially a virtual interview)!
Hey - I can never tell whether it’s worth applying for the direct TC for the US law firms with a smaller intake like Sidley. I’m not sure what the statistics are but I’m assuming most of there TC would be given to vacation schemers so I would suggest to wait till the winter cycle. I feel like the chances in obtaining a TC that route would be higher than applying directly for these firms.
Not sure if anyone else has any other input.

Yeah ofc! that's why I'm asking to see if I can wait until the winter vac scheme but some firms like V&E - i'm no longer able to apply to the VS as its only for undergrads so obviously don't want to waste this opportunity!
Congrats! Recently had a TC interview virtually. I definitely found it harder than in-person ones just because it’s harder to build a rapport. I will just give you tips based on what I wish I had done:
- smile more
- take longer to think before speaking because I found it more uncomfortable about the silence virtually than I would have in person
- have a larger cup of water because I ran out during the interview and was genuinely upset I didn’t save it for the more difficult questions haha
- try looking at both interviewers more rather than just the person asking me questions
not an extensive list but just some things that comes to mind. Good luck!!

did you apply for 2022 training contract or 2021?Any tips/anyone done AC for DAC Beachcroft?
I suspect DWF’s graduate recruitment may have been affected by their cost-cutting programme and wouldn’t be surprised if they reduced or even cancelled it this year.
Hey guys , I asked earlier but no one responded ahaha but has anyone heard back from RPC following vac scheme ?
