    I actually heard from a trainee that Mishcon loves rejecting people at least once before they decide to take you on, but oh well

    Mishcon post-app PFO. Actually quite frustrated here as I got to VI last year and my application was way more tailored this year. Onwards and upwards

    I want to know this too—I’m frantically writing my application tonight (I have an essay that’s also due tomorrow that I haven’t finished drafting 😍)

    @Jessica Booker I’m starting a second part time job in retail next week (for financial reasons). For firms where my application is pending, would it be worth emailing grad rec to update them?

    If you're a domestic student you can literally enrol in August. If you're an international student, I would recommend applying earlier as you'll need to get a visa. I applied two weeks ago to programmes in London, and I'd do it sooner to get it out of the way with. The only things you need to do...

    I think Clyde & Co only look at applications from penultimate year law students and final year non-law students for their VS (which is the only way to get a TC). I heard that they don't consider applications from grads, which is pretty questionable imo ...

    I went to an AC recently and I think I only met one person who was in their second year of uni. Everyone else were final years, grads, postgrads, career changers or working, so don't worry! I think this also depends on what type of firm you apply to. From what I've heard, AC candidates at MC...

    Hi everyone! I have an AC on Monday (scary), and I did a mock interview yesterday. Generally went quite well but was told my answers for why me, tell me about yourself, why do you want to work in London and why not careers like banking and consulting were quite weak. Would appreciate any advice...
