    Thanks! I'm actually Polish and the degree here at the best law school in the country is quite chill with lots of decent employment options afterwards. I graduated from Glasgow uni with a first class degree (English law, not Scots) so I'm hoping it won't be that hard. My goal is to qualify...

    Hi, I haven't secured a TC this year yet but in case I don't get it I thought of staying home and enrolling in law in my home country (I'm not originally from the UK) and doing the degree in 2-3 years (normally it's 5 but you can do it faster if you're inclined to do so).

    Just out of curiosity, when did you have your interview and the AC? I had mine on the 4th and they told me it's going to be a couple of weeks for them to gey back to me so I was wondering how much do people wait between the stages. So far, for me, it was 2 days between the submission of the form...

    Exactly, they do not reply to emails or pick up any calls so how were we even supposed to know... I tried contacting them before and there was no answer.

    Man, I'm a bit confused. I thought they don't assess applications on a rolling basis, yet I haven't received anything from them yet so now I am worrying that they did and I applied too late LOL

    Hey man, May I ask, how did you answer their commercial question? I thought I did it quite well but got a PFO... I'll post my answer here for others to see and maybe point out some issues here: "What are three challenges that law firms face now and/or in the future and how is Ropes & Gray...
