    Exactly! But I guess we will have to wait and see how it all plays out 😬

    Yeah, I have given up hope too. It seems a lot of people are still waiting, so maybe we are jumping the gun in assuming the worst, but I didn't have high hopes anyway, LOL.

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Anyone heard back from Shoosmiths direct TC yet (I applied for London office)? I'm getting real nervous now. I know they said 22nd June but there's not a lot of working days between now and then...

    Nothing yet on my end. I applied for London too. They said they'll get back to all of us by the 22nd of June <3

    This is such a good point! I completely forgot they said AC dates starting the 28th June :o

    I haven't, but I applied to London office right near the deadline. Either way, I heard somewhere that they had an record number of apps this year and so they may be taking a little longer than usual anyway! Snap on the name, btw! I am also Georgia 😂 ❤️

    Email them just to clear it up! They will get back to you shortly and can rectify any mistake that may have been made :)

    Rejected unfortunately! I didn't have high hopes for the application to begin with, so I wasn't very surprised. How are things going for you?

    For Shoosmith's mitigating circumstances, it notes that if you have them then you need to send further details at an email address before the deadline. Does this mean I need to try and dig up doctor's evidence from years ago? :/

    They are rolling :) I have seen someone on TSR ask for VI tips for Shoosmiths so I am guessing they have heard back already. I imagine they're getting quite a few applications in this last week (I'm currently doing the application too), so it might take until after the deadline to hear back...

    When an application says "Please use this space for additional information about your undergraduate degree." do I have to fill it in? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to write.

    Ahhh I haven't had anything yet. Probably not a good sign :confused: Good luck with your WG!
