PFO from Jones Day!

 

[Emily K]

Congrats to everyone getting FF WG invites! I guess the rest of us should expect a pfo soon

Haven't received one either still keep hoping though, we never know!

Rejection from Mishcon. Extremely gutted because I thought my app was good but oh well

 

[layla rose]

double whammy of mishcon and SPB (manchester) rejections today for some reason I got the SPB rejection email three times - like thank you i get that you don't want me 😂

I’m sorry to hear this - i feel like a lot of us can resonate with the influx of rejections coming through recently
If you don’t mind me asking, was the Mishcon rejection post VI?

They won't have the capacity to send out all WG tests in one fell swoop especially since they are still reviewing VS apps...keep the faith!

Those who got the WG for FF does your portal say it was updated?

 

[gg332dd]

It comes usually 2 days after, maybe ask?

Thank you! Might drop them an email then

No, this was before the VI!

I was at this event with Latham and they said that applicants for their vacation schemes would hear back by mid-February as they are currently busy reviewing applications.

got an email from them. Haven’t checked the portal yet!

I don’t really know where I went wrong with mdr.. i don’t even know anyone on the forums who got a rejection and I didn’t even apply earlier, can’t help but think it was an automatic no
My app is error free, and I got past the stage on a lot of apps that weren’t as fine tuned as that one. I literally spent weeks on it, to not get through to the VI is just a massive blow to the confidence, can’t quite see where I’m going wrong.

I noticed mine said updated on the 18th earlier today.

I think it says updated on every app no? It says updated next to the date I submitted mine..

 

[Hele25]

I don’t know if this helps but I got my rejection from Walker Morris last year on 27/01/20? So I assume that they will be sending out rejections and next stages hopefully next week?

I’m sorry to hear that for last year, thanks for the info though! Allows me adjust my expectations slightly re their reply!

Second PFO of the day from Cleary 😭

Yeah I just meant if the date had changed since that’s what mine says
