Thank you! Sat on HSF/FF currently. FF are seemingly doing callbacks for the VS's this week. This is likely why we have seen a flurry of activity with Direct TC's being progressed.

Congratulations!!! Really happy for you

Just received my second TC offer! Over the moon would be putting it mildly! Just one more to go now. Best of luck to everyone waiting for callbacks!

Congratulations!

Amazing !! Congratulations

Ah, good point! I have some thinking to do for sure.

I'd try to turn down the second best offer you have currently ASAP, especially if you know it is likely to be the third or fourth choice if other offers were made.

I am in the February 2022 intake

Has anyone heard back from Vinson & Elkins, Gibson Dunn, Weil, Travers, Macs, TLT, AG, Dentons, HFW or Boodle for direct TC (just the London offices)?

Gibson have filled the intake from the vacation scheme so I don’t believe they’ll be looking at their direct TCs I’m afraid

If anyone is still waiting, I just received a rejection from the GLP post CRT. I took the test on a particularly anxious day so ‘twas to be expected.

If anyone is interested in applying to the GLP, I did make it past the SJT and VRT and would be happy to share the resources used ?

 

[IzzyAn_na]

I just received from the GLP to say I've gotten through to the online interview stage. Feels like a marathon application process, and I'm pretty surprised I passed the CRT (I can never tell if I've bombed or smashed it).
Was wondering if anyone has experience of the type of questions they ask for the GLP? Need to start prepping!

Ah, awesome. I was advised early 2022, so, I may well see you there!

Thanks. Are you sure? I emailed them when my exam results were released (after the deadline) and they emailed me this morning to say that they've updated my application - seems like a waste of time if they aren't even going to consider my application haha. Having said that, anything is possible with TC applications!

That's incredible! Well done! I attended Open Days at both of these firms and just loved them both so much - this would have been a really tough decision for me if I were in your position (although I'd definitely switch your tough decision for my zero offers haha). Congratulations!!

Let me know if I can assist with apps and stuff

Yep, when I accepted my offer after the vac scheme they told me they'd made the rest of their offers to others on the scheme and weren't planning on increasing. That said, maybe they've changed their mind but that's what I was told a week or so ago. Good luck with your app!
