[QUOTE="confusedlawstudent, post: 125336, member: 17277"] It's been a month since I started this thread so I'm going to give an update. I just got rejected today from the Allen & Overy VS at the application review stage, so I'm feeling quite down. I know it was a long shot anyway, but I thought I could maybe get an interview at least. I just really don't know what else I can do to improve. Since starting this thread, I have: [LIST] [*]Applied for and been rejected by HSF. [*]Applied for and been rejected by A&O. [*]Applied for the Bird & Bird VS [*]Applied for the CMS VS [*]Attended the Bristows IP Workshop (which I found really interesting and helpful) [*]Done the Taylor Wessing second stage "online games assessment" which went awfully [*]Completed the Commercial Awareness TCLA course [*]Read the news everyday, listened to Watson's Daily most days, read ZipLaw newsletters a few times a week. [/LIST] After being rejected by A&O, and after the Taylor Wessing assessment went terribly, I'm just feeling like I'm never going to get a TC. It's really put me down. I am going to keep trying, but I've lost a lot of motivation now. Hopefully I will get over it soon. Over December, I hope to: [LIST] [*]Complete the TCLA M&A course [*]Complete Bristows TC application [*]Complete 2 more VS applications [*]Continue developing my commercial awareness. [/LIST] Hopefully I make some more progress! [/QUOTE]
