WBD VI was an unmitigated disaster 😅😭 I prepped well for the VI, but sometimes things just don’t come together. I’m not one for excuses, but honestly, last 5 weeks of my degree, working 14+ hour days, my brain is just dead and I could not have done any more. You know when you even know what you...- Hele25

Just been sent a VI invite to WBD :) (Leeds office, applied 1 week before deadline) so pleased. That will round off my app cycle - this is the only firm I have left. 😳 Going to have a good life re-evaluation afterward lol. Does anyone else have daily existential crisis’?- Hele25

You can do them on a phone or a laptop, just not a tablet as the format is incompatible with the programme. I found them easy to do on a phone as it really is set up like a game, that’s personal preference though as they work on either :) good luck!- Hele25

I love the WBD Dickinson tests, I wish some of the games were a normal app and I could play them again lol .. in saying that, I am always slightly sceptical of how accurate the results are/ how the games are designed to tell you these things. I got: decision making, emotion and fairness as my...- Hele25

Morning everyone, So, the university of law funds a postgraduate 'career changer' scholarship. This would be financially a God send for me right now, but also I think it applies as I was a pastry chef for 8 years prior to my LLB. My question is how to go about structuring an answer to this...- Hele25

Morning everyone, So, it’s looking more and more likely I’m going to make some direct TC apps this cycle. is is the norm that to make a direct tc app I need to have 2 weeks of legal experience? Or is it 4 weeks - think I may have read that earlier in the forum? also what kind of legal...- Hele25

Hiya guys, so this isn’t technically an application review request/question, but I’m wondering if TCLA reviews postgraduate/LPC application personal statements? Or separately, are there any resources that anyone knows of that could help guide me in what to include? I’m thinking of structuring...- Hele25

Okay so 2 days ago I saw online that the branch of the small firm (4-6 trainees a year across 2 offices) I’ve applied to is being absorbed into another firm. I’ve emailed grad rec to ask how this may effect my application, but very curious to know if this is going to be a “we’re not continuing...- Hele25

Casual mid-afternoon check of an application portal and the switch from “you have applied” to “you application has been reviewed and is currently being processed” is about the most panic inducing, impending doom set of words ever created. Lol- Hele25

Okay so I’ve applied to a rather small firm for a summer vac scheme (held in May🤷♀️), and I received confirmation that they’re received my application on the 13th of Feb, but nothing further. When is it appropriate to send an email asking for an approximate timeline? I need to start planning...- Hele25

Hi everyone, finally have a minute to firm up my WBD app answer, but just having a slight wobble. The question asks for a local project or development - what is local? Like within 50 miles maybe? I’m applying to the Leeds office - does it just have to be something in the north, or in...- Hele25

Does this solely apply to VS offers? I have managed to get a legal summer internship with a tech company that won’t start until June. Would this also be good to include briefly somewhere in applications? Thanks :)- Hele25
