    Thank you so much for this detailed response! I was considering maybe sending out a couple direct TC this cycle since some are still open — would you recommend I wait until next cycle to send these applications instead ? The firms I am looking at include King & Spalding, Bakers and maybe...

    After receiving my final rejection for this year’s VS cycle, I've quickly realised that I underestimated just how competitive it really is. I only applied to four firms (all extremely competitive) and assumed that my extensive experience with two of them would be enough to secure an AC...

    Freshfields SVS Post WG PFO at 9am. I’ve genuinely sobbed since I found out because it was my last application. I haven’t gotten through to a single AC. I’m in second year and was confident I would get through to an AC especially at Hogans and Freshfields because of my past experience with them...

    Anyone heard from Freshfields post WG for the VS?? I have only seen one person receive an AC and their response was pretty quick so I’m growing a bit concerned haha

    Has anyone received an AC invite after completing Freshfields’ WG for the VS? I completed mine on Sunday (received on Friday and had the deadline for Monday) and haven’t heard anything back

    Hogan Lovells PFO. Applied for their VS in January and didn’t have to do the WG because I was on their first year scheme I would honestly love some insight because I don’t know where I went wrong. I also applied for their Lift Off programme this year and got rejected. I got my application...

    If I was asked about my Oxbridge rejection I fear I would just break down

    They might have really liked the firm and wanted to shoot their shot again. I know someone who was not offered a TC after completing Hogan's VS so they applied again the next cycle and was offered one

    Hello, this is a pretty last minute request for advice for the WG but I would truly appreciate any advice you may have. For context, it is due tomorrow. My biggest area of concern is the “drawing conclusions” part of the test — I consistently achieve 42-46% on it even after practicing multiple...

    Received a FF WG for their summer vac scheme. I would appreciate any last minute prep advice since I have 2 days to complete it and haven’t practiced any tests!

    Okay that has reassured me! I did the Freshfields first year scheme and checked to see when they sent the WG for that. They sent it 2-4 weeks after the initial application which is promising
