So pleased for you!!!

Can you defer? Imagine how lovely and relaxing a master’s would be when you’ve got the job lined up!

Congratulations... but definitely don't go into Cambridge thinking that a Masters will be 'lovely and relaxing'!

 

[Celestie]

That is awesome, well done! Do you mind sharing who the lucky firm is?

Definitely celebrate a fantastic achievement!

Oh sorry I forgot I havent been on here for like half a year - Sidley!

 

[Donuttime]

Congratulations Celistie!

 

[Dheepa]

Im delighted to announce that after my first round of applications, I have received a TC offer today! Need to now think about what to do - masters or TC ahahha

YESSS!! So happy for you - I agree with @HorsesForCoursesNeighNeighNeigh on this, if the masters is something you really want to do then defer the TC!

Fair point

I think better phrased as"what normal people would consider incredibly pressurised and intense, but with a guaranteed job so future lawyers find it comparatively chill"

Thank you so much guys - this was honestly so unexpected to the point I was actually preparing for the next application season (as you can see by my previous posts). I shall let you all know how it pans out and hopefully can give you all advise as I learned A LOT!

Hey @Celestie , firstly congratulations to you on this amazing feat. Secondly, can you also do a post on your TC story. The forum has a separate thread on that, would love to read it if you have the time.

This would be really insightful!

Sure! Do you mind linking the thread?

I tried finding it but I can't see it anymore, maybe I'm looking it up with the wrong search terms. Anyway, could you please create a new thread altogether?

Thanks

I think this is the thread but definitely feel free to just start your own thread! You can just link it in a post to the below thread later

Training Contract Success Stories

The other day I spoke to someone who went through three recruitment rounds before finally being offered a training contract with a great firm. I’m on my second (likely unsuccessful) round and I’m trying not to give up hope, so I find stories like this really inspiring and would love to hear...

Hello - I have applied to study the LPC at the UoL, does anyone know how long they normally take to get back to applicants?

In my case, it was 2 working days!

Really fast (for GDL). Although it might depend on whether you’re sponsored or not, and if there is any submission they’ll need to review (like an essay or anything like that)?

Which campus??! I’ll be Moorgate

Thank you - yes, I'm sponsored too and will be Moorgate!

Also do you know the exact start date for the course? The only info I can find is that it starts in September.

When I rang ULaw regarding start dates, they said they usually confirm closer to the time but it's likely to be mid/end of September rather than the start
