    really?! That would be amazing! I'll dm you:) Good to know everyone else is just as confused!!! Yeah I feel like our cohort's been totally abandoned by basically all firms this year- the firm that cancelled my VS at least sent me a courtesy email before summer to let me know they weren't...

    do you mind telling me which date? I'm waiting to hear back about the MK one which is on the 1st Dec, so just curious about what the gap is like! (i.e. are they sending out acceptances 1 2 or 3 weeks before so I know when to start/stop panicking about it!!)

    yep haha, really wasnt interested in the firm at all but enjoyed the insight thing, might just give it ago although I'm still waiting for their response to my 2022 direct tc app - mystifying how theyve done all of these events but still not got back to the vac schemers or tc applicants

    could anyone give me some advice about this? So, like 2 months ago I applied for a firm's virtual insight day and virtual open day at the same time. I got into the virtual insight day, but they rejected me for the open day due to 'limited attendance numbers'. my application for the days was kind...

    As others have said asking someone else to review your applications is the best bet. But also consider what type of firms you're applying to. Sometimes it's totally inexplicable but certain firms just happen to not like your application - sometimes it's a personality thing, other times it's a...

    I've never heard of this being possible ever - but even if you reject the vs offer the company can still consider you for a training contract so it doesn't totally ruin your chances

    try not to get to disheartened - if it helps, the exact thing happened to me last cycle. I applied to one firm i'd previously done an internship with and really loved and got great feedback from, but they rejected me right off the bat despite me spending ages on my app and being really confident...

    thanks for this!! yeah, i felt that the open day would really strengthen it since i have no idea about the firm's culture or other opportunities, just their type of work. but youre right, the decision may be made for me by my open day app!

    i've heard dechert recruit on a rolling basis-can anyone confirm this? i've applied for one of their open days at the end of november but not sure if i should put a vac scheme app out there too. so if I got the open day, I would be applying at the end of november, about 4-5 wks before the...
