Hi there, I heard that Eversheds dont really recruit from Direct TC applicants. Could anyone provide more insights? I know it's always with applying even for a slim chance but feeling a bit burnt out and there are other deadlines soon so wanted to get some statistics / numbers. Couldn't find any percentages on their website.
They rejected me post-app in previous cycle for direct app as all the TC spaces had been filled through the VS.

Happy Sunday everyone! Is applying to WFW still worth it considering that the deadline is in 2 days and they're rolling? I saw that some people got VI earlier in June already. (I could submit a high quality app, did multiple firm events with them and know the firm quite well, just kept postponing my app due to other firms...:/)
