They are semi rolling and review all apps until deadline from what i was told at eventsAre they rolling as they do semi rolling but from last yr experience semi rolling means after the deadline they review applications.
Hey, I completely get how you’re feeling! It’s really hard to think positively when you get bad news but you have to keep going. For some context, I did one unsuccessful vac scheme AC, one successful vac scheme AC (but no TC offer), one unsuccessful direct TC AC and finally one successful direct TC AC which I have accepted!Hey guys, I was recently rejected from A&O post AC and have been rejected from one other firm at AC (albeit a firm not near the stature of A&O). I was wondering how many AC's some of the future trainees had before they were successful? I am a little worried, as I seem to struggle with them. In addition, due to personal circumstances, I have only made three applications so far this cycle (one of them A&O) and whilst I'm hoping to get another two away this month, it starting to seem unlikely I will get something this cycle.
I think this is a great example and you definitely don't have to have something academic as long as it is genuinely your proudest achievement. Be sure to demonstrate how it helped you develop resilience, resourcefulness, determination etc whatever skills and attributes that you think are appropriate! It is good to have personal examples and give them an idea as to what motivates you, being a solicitor will only be part of who you are after all!Hi everyone, I am applying to CRS and one of the questions asks 'which achievement are you most proud of and why?'. My proudest achievement is leaving an abusive relationship and bringing up my son as a very young single parent. Is this appropriate or should I got for something employment related/academic instead?
This is my first cycle and not exactly sure what firms are looking for.
Thanks!
Have people heard back yet.They are semi rolling and review all apps until deadline from what i was told at events
Hey congrats!! Did you hear back by phone or email?Just got an offer for the Clyde & Co winter vac scheme!!
Phone call, 9:30 this morning, I only had the AC yesterdayHey congrats!! Did you hear back by phone or email?
I don’t think we will hear back from Baker McKenzie until after the 1st December! Spoke to a member of GR recently and she said they review all applications after the deadline. Hope that helpsHave people heard back yet.
PFO from CMS.
Taking it as a sign that I need to practice Watson Glaser tests a bit more. I've scored highly on them in the past but need to improve consistency. Anyone have any recommended methods?
Yeah, practice makes perfect. From a few practice tests, it's the "recognizing assumptions" part that I tend to score lowest on, so time to get to work.I was exactly like this last year. My inconsistency has since improved because I did so many practice tests and read so many guides. I would definitely search the web for some "cheat sheets" (or make one yourself!) that digests each WG section like a rulebook. It helped me understand the difference between deductions and interpretations and whether an inference is "true" or "probably true". Best of luck you'll improve in no time
Congratulations!!Just got an offer for the Clyde & Co winter vac scheme!!
It’s more about showing development in those areas or explaining why the firm you are applying to might not worry so much about that particular aspect (eg if you have been told you didn’t show enough interest in their practice areas, and the firm you are applying to has different ones). It sounds brutal, but the flaw has already been exposed (that’s why they ask the question) - they just want to see how you move on from it.If asked why you were unsuccessful in converting your vac scheme to a TC, what should the response? Ofc don't want to expose my flaws 🙃
