    Thanks Jessica - do you not think I should reach out to them? Ideally, I would like as much notice as possible so that I can know how to prepare especially since I'm balancing this with full time work. Of course I have already taken the day off from work but I'm getting a bit nervous with the...

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    I've got another question I'd love your thoughts on TCLA family - if I've been placed "on hold" for an AC, but the date they told me to hold is in less than a week, should I reach out to the firm to confirm if I have a place? In their original email they said they "might" contact me with very...

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    With fear of asking a dumb question - if my deadline to complete a video interview is "25 February 2020 (GMT+ 00:00)" does that mean I have all day on the 25 February until midnight to complete it (meaning anytime before 00:01 which now becomes 26 February)?

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I received a rejection post-AC end of Jan and my portal still hasn't updated so safe to say the portals are not very reflective of your outcome/status. This was for a direct TC btw.

    Yeah that's deffo a joke! Sorry to hear that! They have lost their head of Grad Rec this year so maybe that's an explanation for the mess. This is clearly an error! I feel similar, my TW app is deffo my best one but I guess the game is the game!

    Omg that is absolutely ridiculous!!! Classic example of there being no fixed rule to this TC/VS struggle! Could I ask if they sent you an email rejection, or did you have to call them up to find out? I haven't heard from them and I did the GBA first week of Jan.

    I totally feel you!! Last year I did amazingly at the TW game but still didn't get an AC. This year (despite obviously increasing my legal skills having worked in the legal profession for an extra year) I didn't do as well (because its a game :)) and I'm still yet to hear back from them... Deffo...
