Do graduate recruitment teams review applications in the order they received it? Is it safe to assume a PFO when I see candidates progress to the next round when they applied on the same day or later than me? @Jessica Booker

for the MC firms that don't open their vacation schemes to graduates, I was wondering what my chances are applying direct TC as a fresh grad without any vacation scheme experiences with other firms? Feels like I'd be competing with career changers with a lot more experience than me

What firms don’t open their VS to graduates?

Clifford Chance. Their VS is only for 1st year law or penultimate non-law

ikr I set the notification volume to the max for the mail app, which scared the baby Jesus out of me whenever there was a ding. But turned out that was a mail from Legal Cheek telling me to apply to a firm that just rejected me =)))))
