    Really really sorry to hear this - very much the same boat. I took a couple of days away watching Disney and it really helped :) Sorry to ask - what office did you apply to for AG?

    Rejection pre VI from Eversheds (Leeds office, applied end October for Summer Vac). This one stings a bit tbh, attended their insight evening and had such a great time and spent a long time on the app :( Oh well, only 3 more apps to go this round. Really praying at this point 😂🥴

    Nothing from AG but I don’t think it will be long, I think they said 2 weeks after the deadline in their confirmation email?! Good luck! :)

    Don’t despair! I actually received some great advice at an internship - which was to not discredit the wider scope of what can be considered commercial awareness. Look at history and politics and trade deals, international relations etc. - all the extra stuff that you might enjoy/know more about...

    Think they’re sending out AC dates and rejections in batches. Quite a few got rejections Monday (meee). No news is good news! Keeping my fingers crossed for you :)

    Congratulations! :) I know right? It’s certainly been a learning experience figuring it all out alone. Good luck! Goodness, it’s just so difficult to know what’s expected/going to lead to a successful outcome. Thanks :)

    Hi everyone:) so this is more for future purposes (hopefully I won’t need it ) but how many law firms is normal to apply for? I’ve only applied to 5 and while they’re all firms I’d like to work at/I’ve researched them reasonably well, is it too few? I’m an open university student so we don’t...

    Reject from DLA post WG, not surprised tbh, it was definitely my weakest application. Fingers crossed/touch wood/praying the outcome of my other applications are more positive!

    I just sent them an email last night also and (hopefully), received the same response. GR responded this AM and said they hope to be back to everyone in the next week. I can’t imagine how unbelievably busy they are, the reply was sent at 6:15am, in response to a 21:47 email from me last night.

    Also do you mind me asking how you phrased the email? I would hate to seem pushy rather than eager ha

    Okay, so now I’m freaking out sightly (always great, what’s another breakdown?) I applied back at the end of September and completer the WG early October and have heard nothing from DLA... Should I be worried??
