Message: <blockquote data-quote="nisadee" data-source="post: 61437" data-attributes="member: 3352">I ask this, particularly after seeing what Clifford Chance have chosen to do this year but also with regards to my own experiences. Last year, (when I was in penultimate year of my law degree and had no legal experience), I applied to about 5 or 6 firms, some even the day before the deadline and I received responses from all almost immediately inviting me to tests or ACs. I was successful in gaining a VS at one firm and had to decline an AC from another firm. Ultimately I didn't convert the VS into a TC but I thought having the experience would be good for applications come this cycle. Especially considering the reason I wanted to do a VS was for the legal experience as I thought it'd look good when applying to firms in the future.Now I'm in my final year, I have legal experience under my belt as well as a new extra curricular at uni, I thought this would set me up in a good position for apps this cycle. However, I've been rejected at the app stage despite attending open days and law fairs and networking. It almost seems like all these firms are seeing is that I'm a final year student who failed to convert a VS to a TC so I'm thrown in the bin (despite that the VS was virtual and the only assessment for the TC was the VS AC - but of course, they don't know this seeing just my application). It's making me regret not applying to more firms last year as a penultimate year student with no legal experience since this seems more desirable. Almost feels like I've lost my prime time :/</blockquote>
