    I am just gonna say what Jessica usually says. If you really want to discuss this, create a new thread and discuss !! Also why are we even being snarky/ sarcastic? We are all going through enough already. Let’s just be nice? It’s really not that hard.

    For Mayer Brown it could be cuz they removed the written element (cover letter) aspect.

    Same. NGL Freshfields demotivated me really bad. I didn’t think my cover letter was so bad that it didn’t warrant a WG. Onwards and upwards 🤝🏻 We just need to keep going forward without letting these things affect us :)

    You are not alone! I got past app stage last year with poor 1st year grades and very little work experience. This year with a significant uptick in my grades and a two week work experience with a commercial law firm working with PE and M&A, I am getting rejected left, right, and centre.

    I know how you feel! My grades this year are much better and I haven’t gotten past the app stage yet. I only have W&C and Travers left so not too hopeful. I genuinely don’t know where I am going wrong!

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    Maybe yeah. I feel you though I genuinely thought my app was good enough to get a WG this year. If it’s a PFO then yeah big disappointment for sure! I just want these firms to get back soon. I wish they reject people sooner than giving out invites cuz tbh the wait is the worst! It’s like I am...

    Yeah true! In some email they mentioned they will send last of WG invites end of the month. Maybe we will get it in those? Anyways, thanks to everyone here for reassuring/ calming me with your helpful attitude 🙏🏻
