)Yep, I never attended both firm events prior submitting, just Legal Cheek Fair post deadline, so I wrote the app based on my holistic due diligence and never thought I'd pass, that's why I said so.
Do you think CC does prefer candidates who did VS in any law firms like Linklaters? I had no legal experience, so that might be explaining in case I got a no from them just like last year applicants.
Also, I noticed that they sort of wait-list candidates last year, wondering if this kind of thing happens again now. It's my first cycle anyway.
still applying to firms despite securing a tc? i could never 😩
Luckily it’s me and not you then. Who said I didn’t get my offer after applying to slaughters 😄
Not every firm is for everyone. 2 years working 9-14 hour days in the wrong place can have a hit on you. Not saying the firm I hold an offer from is bad but we all had our reasons
Tc offer doesn’t = securing a tc
Me neither, it was all due to the cloudflare outage so can't confirm exactly how the process would be. Then, they didn't attend the booth on the rescheduled date.
I am thinking of withdrawing my Linklaters London-Asia TC as well before submitting. I just don't wanna waste more time and got rejected despite too excited when passed WG exceptionally. Someone here said got PFO after 99th percentile WG at Links lmao.
You don’t know why that person got rejected. Maybe their application was weak. Maybe they were in a pool of extremely competitive candidates. I’d just focus on your own applications and don’t worry about/benchmark yourself against other people.
But in case of Linklaters it's more direct than CC. It states on the job description it requires at least 2 week subsequent legal work experience. I was assuming it's 'slightly preferred', now I interpreted it as 'highly preferred' or even mandatory.
I noticed Linklaters also asks for consistent 2:1 in all modules and two weeks legal work experience, I am guessing getting an overall 2:1 won't suffice they needs 2:1 in every module taken. just wanted to know if anyone has any information regarding this like if someone has spoken to their recruiters about this at events?
Not sure, I didn't ask, but I should focus on the other apps this week lolll since the deadline is approaching, I also got invited to some tests already which is more certain as I got their OD, so was well prepared, confident, and tailored the app on another level.
While I think some deserve to be a gambling, yet because I didn't met at any events as I do believe there is a some luck factor in this whole process, but lack of peculiarity because of limited eligibility for me.
I spoke to them at LegalCheek Live earlier this year. They said that if you have mitigating circumstances that explain why you didn't get a 2.1 in every module, you can disclose those as part of the app form and still apply. But if you do not have any exceptional circumstances that explain the inconsistency in your marks, then you should not apply.
thanks for this, saves me a lot of time
I wouldn’t think so, it may mean they look at applications in batches and your batch hasn’t been looked at yet
I am a bit confused about A&O. I read that a few people have received AC invites for the direct TC and nobody is sure if this is for 2027 or 2028, or if they are inviting people in batches.
But A&O also had separate applications for Law and Non-law students. So does anyone know if these AC invites are for Law or Non-Law?
