Has anyone done the Withers virtual AC yet? Do you have any tips on what to expect? Thank you in advance!

Just received a rejection from BCLP for direct TC, in case anyone is still waiting to hear!

I’m yet to receive mine but thanks so much for the update, and sorry to hear have you applied anywhere else ?

Best of luck if you're still waiting, hopefully it will be a positive outcome I've also applied to Links and White & Case, but still waiting for a response!

Just last week I was offered a Training Contract with a large national firm with opportunities internationally. I had completely resigned myself from the idea of getting a TC there as I thought I completely tanked the final interview and told all my family and friends that this year unfortunately won't be the year I get a TC. I then got the call and couldn't even think of anything to say. They even want me to start before 2022!
Weirdly enough, I was much more confident in other applications which I didn't progress in so it just goes to show, you never know!
Also whilst I'm here, my cycle this year has been much more successful thanks to everyone on this forum! The commercial awareness pages helped me in numerous interviews and everyone's positive attitude also. Best of luck everyone!

Congratulations!!

Thank you so much and likewise! I have also applied to White & Case. They have some really informative articles on the future of M&A, and the general economy post covid out at the moment x

I applied in late March and haven’t heard anything yet so I really can’t work out how they’re reviewing apps!!

Hi, I applied in June, deadline day, so I don't think so?(as another poster mentioned how they applied in March and have not heard). The OP also said how they applied in June, though before the deadline.

Good luck to all

I applied on the original deadline date (31st May) and still haven't heard yet. So yes, very confusing. No news is good news I guess!
