HUGE CONGRATULATIONS from a fellow 7 cycle applicant!! It's an amazing feeling when the hard work pays off!!💓 Enjoy this moment for as long as you can.
I had the news a little while back now but I am so happy to share that I've secured a training contract! ✨ For so long, this felt so far out of reach for me. I'm not embarrassed to say it's taken me 7 cycles of applications to get here. I really hope that sharing this gives other members out...
Usually call for offers. Emails if unsuccessful usually. I think offers go first in case people don’t accept and they need to pull from a reserve group
Yes, ofc! Happy to help and share my experience. I think it's great to make more applications if you can and doing more helps you get better at making quality applications, however looking back, I wish I hadn't put so much pressure on myself to bag a TC before graduation. Thankfully things...
Hi @floral.tcla, I am sure others will weigh in but for firms like Dentons / CMS / Eversheds / Pinsents, I am pretty sure those grades are fine (especially coming from Cambridge!). It sounds like you've already got a strong profile from what you've described so I think you're definitely in with...

I am glad I am not the only one who felt this way. I thought their AC was very impersonal and "tick boxy" compared to other firms. Speaks volumes about the firm IMO. The lack of transparency about the number of spaces actually available and the surprise additional final interview stage was...
The admin office for my uni also refused to do this. The personal tutor had a rule that she would only respond to reference requests from second year students which was really unhelpful. Thankfully, I've never had a law firm actually reach out to academic referees or I don't know what I will do
This is based only on people I know, but I have noticed that they tend to like people with an international element to their profile. Whether that be someone who has worked abroad for a while, speaks different languages, grew up in a different country.
I'm sorry to hear about the PFO post-AC. Post-AC PFOs always sting more :( But you should be so proud of yourself on bagging a VS! It's insanely competitive at the moment so you must be a top candidate. Happy to chat in DMs if you like. I've definitely had my fair share of low points over the...
