Simmons and Simmons sent me an email saying they have now reached full capacity on their schemes. Is that just a standard rejection as a result of my VI not being good enough, or they generally didn't have space regardless of my performance? Disappointing either way- Mxkry

Next application cycle, i'll definitely try my hardest to apply to 20-30 firms From everything here, it seems like a numbers game to a large extent and tailoring my apps to 10 or so firms has not yielded the best results thus far.

I've always wondered how people even do spring schemes like a month before their exams. Taking 1/2 weeks off, essentially, would be massively detrimental for me hence, why I don't apply for spring vacs.- Mxkry
