Which office have you applied to?Haven’t heard back from Addleshaw Goddard yet and I’m starting to really freak out! AG is my absolute dream firm and I think it was my best application, so I’m feeling super anxious

I'll be 31 next month but I believe that birthdays don't count during a lockdown so I'll be sticking at 30. 😎

It's looking likely that I will miss two, so if that's the case, at least that is one major advantage to the last crappy 12 months!
Adding to the list of people talking about their age...I'm 32 and this is my first application cycle, having decided to make a career change. I fully intend to keep applying if I'm unsuccessful this cycle (as it's increasingly looking), I've come across people in their 30s and 40s who are trainees so we've all still got plenty of time
If we all make a deal not to get older then who can stop it being true? 😅
Good luck! But even if its not good news then please don't take it to heart. I took it so personally last year when my top ("dream") firm rejected me before the AC. As others have said, firms get SO many applications. Sometimes the factors in being successful are completely beyond our control. Just dust yourself off and look for the next opportunity.
Hi everyone! I’ve recently joined TCLA and was wondering if anyone had heard from Goodwin or Taylor Wessing?
Nothing from TW since completing the games assessment and nothing from Goodwin post-app
Actually just got an email back from DLA regarding the WG score , it’s their policy to not reveal the scores - because they understand them in terms of their ‘norm group’ (not percentiles or raw scores like other firms)
In case anyone else was curious
In case anyone else was curious
It means that they make you wait longer before they reject you
AC invite yesterday from TW but still waiting from Goodwin post written app!
Has anyone else not heard from Taylor Wessing post-app? I applied on the deadline in all fairness but thought I'd have a rejection or game invite by now - so stressed haha!!
same position as youI haven't but only submitted on 2 days ago
Haven't heard from DP but was told they were hoping to get decisions out today! First interview was a bit tougher, hard to tell if it went well but felt that I connected with the second partner! Fingers crossed buddy
If you're on hold it's likely that you passed the threshold requirements - however most invites have been given out already (to my knowledge), but definitely still in it! Many people got rejected without the on hold email and i received an invite a month ish after getting "on hold"
I have and I applied on the deadline☺️Has anyone got a VI from eversheds for the Manchester office? If so, when did you apply?
