    Interview/Open Day/Vacation Scheme Updates- Coronavirus

    It's really hard to say, which is why law firms are likely to just postpone them for now - I don't think anyone knows how things are going to pan out. Personally, I would say May seems quite early though.

    Feeling despondent this VS cycle..any advice is welcome

    Really agree with this. I have seen many applications that I thought were fantastic go on to receive rejections. There’s so many elements that come into play that you can’t guarantee you’ll get interviews, which is why I would always recommend sending as many (good) applications as you can.
