Hey guys!

I was wondering if everyone has started hearing back from firms about their first year schemes / open days? I've applied to firms like Slaughter which have closed applications early in January, but I have not heard back. Some of my friends have begun receiving interview invites/rejections from A&O and Linklaters, but I've heard nothing and it's making me nervous, does this mean I'm rejected too?? I'm starting to think I won't get into any first year schemes at all :(

I haven't heard back from Slaughter or Linklaters yet! Hoping for some positive response!
 
I've applied to A&O First and Linklaters too and haven't heard a response from either of them yet! Not too sure if my A&O application went through though because I applied on the last day (oops) and did the test after the deadline (but it said you can finish the test in 48 hours?) Either way, I didn't get confirmation that I finished the test.

@tea.tong was the interview invites from A&O and the rejections from Linklaters, or vice versa? Wishing all of us the best of luck with our applications!
Have you heard back from any other firms yet?
