Just completed my final application for this cycle. When I secured both an Easter and Summer Vacation Scheme I really didn't think I'd be back in this position again - but, due to Covid, neither went ahead. Good luck to everyone. This year will be our year!!

You will get that TC ! You already got two vacation schemes! You have got the qualities!
thank you man! i checked and sadly it was a rejection.
You will also get that TC, looking forward to seeing your success story on here !
Hi everyone! I haven't heard back from Freshfields yet regarding my TC application, not even a WG invite, should I take this as a rejection? Also, does anyone know when A&O direct TC apps will open this year?
I haven't heard back either - although only applied on the deadline.
A&O are rolling I believe. When I've spoken to grad rec before they've said around October-November time is the sweet spot to apply as that's when they start issuing ACs.
I only know of 1 person who got a WGT invite on this forum- maybe they are still reviewing? Or deciding how much TC's to offer to their VS students?
you shouldn’t take it as a rejection no, it has only been 2 weeks since the deadline! I think most people haven’t heard back yet. They said everyone will hear back within the next month!
Not even the time to finish watching “free solo” (strongly advise) that I realised that the commercial awareness competition is very close. Is anyone competing this year? How are you preparing? I think I am going to create a post where we can discuss about the AS commercial awareness competition.
If I don't get a TC this year then I'll be participating again. I've taken part the last two years but I'll be working full time from September so not sure how that will work with getting time off for the live rounds (if they even go ahead like that considering Covid?)
wanted to say thank you to everyone on this forum
