    Unsure. I emailed a while back and they didn’t respond. Last year I got the test back after 14 days and this year it’s been one month and 12 days.

    Yes for both. I sent both applications on the days they opened. Still waiting for NRF to send me a WG.

    Yep but I just updated my application, added some new examples and reworked my application and then sent it off again because I didn’t fancy risking it as they’re rolling.

    Anyone heard back from Linklaters or Hogan Lovells for Winter Vac Schemes yet?

    In terms of the first point, if you tell Ashurst that you have a neurodiverse condition they are more lenient towards your score and place more emphasis on the application. Same for the games section if you have a physical disability.

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone had heard from Macfarlanes for TC apps for 2023 and if anyone knew when they hold ACs? Thanks!

    Don't do it. I got rejected last year for doing that. They want to see why you want to apply to Slaughters

    Seeing a few people get rejected from Sidley, I’m sure your other applications will come through!!! Were your applications for the 2022 TC or for winters? Thanks!

    Rejection from Slaughters but I was expecting it anyway...

    Unsure, I haven’t heard back yet. Also, law firms don’t send out ACs that quickly so now it’s a waiting game!

    Hey I had an interview with Jones Day last Friday. Got it two weeks after submitting.

    Or you just get rejected really late but I’m hoping it’s your response!
