Hi all

I haven't been massively vocal on this forum but have found it such a welcoming, supportive community nonetheless. I had a final interview for BCLP this morning and received a call about two hours later offering me the TC!!! Thank you all so much for being open and honest about your experiences - I've found it so valuable knowing that there are other people going through this tough process. If you have not subscribed already, I can honestly say that the TCLA materials and services are fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough, from the application checker to the wide range of guides.

For anyone having a rough time - stick at it!! I cannot (and frankly, do not wish to) count how many rejections I've received over the last year. It just takes one firm to make everything happen! Although I have never met a single one of you, it has been a real pleasure participating in this forum and I sincerely wish you all the success you deserve! Happy Friday everyone - you've got this!!!

Still waiting on Covington, Macfarlanes & AG. May be worth checking the application portal on AG as I didn’t receive any emails there when I last applied, only to find I’d been rejected for two weeks before I looked!

 

[avocadotoast]

So Slaughters just got back to me and said my application is still under consideration and that I'll hear back "in the next 2-3 weeks". Pretty sure I will have pulled off all my hair by then, but I guess I'm just going to have to keep waiting!

This happened to me! It's so weird that they don't send rejection emails. As heartwrenching as they are to receive, it's better than having to log in and be let down lol

V&E are exclusively hiring through their Vac Scheme

Still in the running so keep calm and await good news. I just heard back from them rejection - applied in Jan!

Rejection from Addleshaw Goddard, with a side of 5 mins of tears and wondering whether I'll ever crack this TC thing I had to log into their portal and check the correspondence for an update, as I haven't been getting their emails directly (I know others on here have had the same issue).

Rejection from Addleshaw Goddard! Hope everyone hears back soon!

Just noticed I also received a rejection for Manchester on Wednesday. Bit gutted, given how much time I put into this one, and how many experiences I've had with the firm. But I know from LinkedIn that they've already filled a lot of their TC spots through the vac scheme. So hey ho!

I completely relate! I genuinely really liked AG and loved their Manchester office, so logging in and seeing that "application unsuccessful" really hit me hard. It was also my best application but it is what it is I guess...

Despite that, I encourage you to keep going! You're bound to be successful!! Seeing everyone else here succeed is what's keeping me going atm lool

 

[SRW]

Re Dentons..I am reluctant to get in touch with them again. I, am very anxious to hear back but I also know that they are going through a lot (redundancies)
They will reject me at the right time lol

One of my friends just got offered a TC after the vac scheme, literally 2 days ago. They're probably dishing out those first, waiting on acceptances, and then will see how many spaces are left for direct TC apps.

Have faith!

For anyone waiting to hear back from Hogan Lovells, I emailed them and they said they are currently reviewing applications and would get in touch in the next two to three weeks.

Could I ask if this is pre or post WG test?

Hi
I got invited for BCLP AC. They told me to confirm a slot but I am not seeing any slots? Is anyone else having the same issue?

Thanks,

What is the best procedure if you’ve missed the deadline for a WG?
