Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey
Omg the craziest thing just happened to me. I am just writing this down so I know I am not dreaming or making things up in my mind!!! I was initially rejected for mini-pupillage by a set, but just now I got an email saying that they had a mix up in sending the scores and I actually ranked 6th...- Izzy1026

Does anyone have tips on improving VI performance? It seems to be that one thing I always get stuck on in an application process. I work so hard on my written apps to get the VI but somehow could never pass it. So frustrating :( Would appreciate some tips- Izzy1026

Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey
Progress update: Received PFO from NRF winter and Willkie spring back to back. NRF was expected because SJT is my weakness and I know it!! But the rejection from Willkie actually hurts so much. I put so much effort into the VI and it is one of the firms that resonates with me in terms of...- Izzy1026

Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey
A very quiet week so far but still feeling blessed with the opportunities from last week. Dechert written exercise was more straightforward than I imagined, but overall I cannot say that I am confident. We will wait and see! So far here's an overview of my VS and Open Day application progress...- Izzy1026

For those that have done the Dechert written task, did you receive an email confirmation after you submitted? I only had a bubble popping up on my screen saying "your output has been saved and submitted", but the timer wouldn't stop and I also am not redirected to a different page? Is that...- Izzy1026

Jones Day AC and thrilled. But they swapped me to Summer because of student visa restrictions I cannot work during the Winter or Spring dates. Has that happened to anyone before? I am not sure if Jones Day’s summer dates work well for me because it’s my dissertation ddl month. But again I know...- Izzy1026

Willkie VI! Wow that was a speedy one. Wish they could have invited me a week later because I am so busy packing to go back to school this week. The deadline is 4 Oct, and I'll be back in school on 2 Oct. Hmm not sure if I should wait till I get back to do it or get it out of the way before my...- Izzy1026

Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey
The feedback was that I did not do well on the technical assessment and was not sufficiently detail-oriented in a drafting task. There’s also head count issues (they are known to only convert roughly 30%) so I kinda anticipated that it will be a hard VS and was not too disheartened to not...- Izzy1026
