Rejection from Dentons post Telephone Interview, since they have no further spaces :( They said I made a good app, however, and they encourage me to apply next year. Should I send the same application form again since the rejection wasn't really dependent upon it?

I would 100% update my application if I were you. I had a telephone conversation with grad rec at MdR after I failed the case study which was the third stage (passed app and the VI). They encouraged me to reapply but said "whatever you do, do not send in the exact same application!"

What was good enough last year might not be good enough to get you over the line this year. I am sure that people's application writing skills are getting better with all the resources that are out there now. Always strive to improve where you can.

I don't know what question were asked, but there is also the chance that some of it might be outdated if you have written any commercial-related answers. Even if the questions are just about you and your skills, I would try and show how you have developed since your last application.
 
Anyone got a Grad Rec email address for the Akin Gump? Please could you PM me with one if you have one (thanks in advance)

Just sending out emails to firms for our vacation scheme/insight programme download and already stumbled at A (going alphabetically!)

Edit - firms don't make it easy for you to contact them do they o_O
PM'd you
 
A good response I hope!

Haven't checked it yet - I am only up to the end of H, so still a fair number of law firms to be contacted yet.... I always knew there was a lot of law firms but even I didn't realise how many there were.
