Nothing on the portal for me. I've been checking every few hours like a crazy person.

Rejection from AG - came through two minutes ago on the portal. Honestly their rejection email feels a bit nastier than others I've received - very much comes across more patronising and "you, personally, are not good enough" than other firms. Onwards and upwards I suppose.
I am so sorry to hear that! Don't give up, are you still waiting for other replies? I've checked my account 2 minutes ago, nothing yet, but I am also awaiting rejection I suppose
Still waiting on nine firms so there's still some hope but looking unlikely. Firms often send out waves of rejections so if you haven't been rejected then that sounds like good news! Good luck!I am so sorry to hear that! Don't give up, are you still waiting for other replies? I've checked my account 2 minutes ago, nothing yet, but I am also awaiting rejection I suppose
Surely that means they're not considering them on a rolling basis? I've still heard nothing from them either
Sorry to hear! That's unfortunate - how did they phrase it if you don't mind me asking?
Was it just an interview or were there other tasks/assessments?
It's definitely not a bad sign but there might be many other factors that will contribute to the decision. Best of luck!! I'm sure they will let you know soon
There was an interview with an associate, a presentation with a legal director, and an in-tray exercise which I completed online. All seemed to go reasonably well but it’s always hard to tell as I know there are so many strong candidates! Thank you, fingers crossed
Also, to those asking about Linklaters applications, I applied just before the deadline and received my rejection 2 weeks ago.
You are good enough, and the fact that you are waiting for nine other firms (that’s amazing bc I struggle with the apps) is a testament to that. But yes I completely understand this feeling, it’s a long and arduous process, but we will cross the finish line eventually.
Waiting on: WFH, Forsters, Faegre, Paul Hastings, Goodwin, AG, TLT, Trowers, Weil, Maples Teesdale
Heard back:
Best of luck to everyone!
Heard back:
- Positive: Stephenson Harwood (interview), Sharpe Pritchard (interview), Edwin Coe (interview)
- Negative: Sullivan & Cromwell (rejection), Dorsey (rejection), Payne Hicks Beach (rejection), K&L Gates (post-test rejection).
Best of luck to everyone!

Heard back:
Not sure if it's the same for others, but I haven't heard back from most of my applications. It has only been a few weeks since the TC deadline though. If anyone does have any updates though it would be appreciated!

I was initially on for a vac scheme interview back in March, which got converted to a TC one as the vac scheme was canceled. I had my interview around last week and am waiting to hear if I got to the second round.
Oooh me too! Any idea when you think we will hear back? I get the feeling it will take a while...
I am honestly not sure - in hindsight, I feel I should have asked during my interview.
If we don't hear back by next week I think it's worth an email.
Hopefully, we both receive good news soon!
I got the impression that they will be holding the first round interviews for the direct TC applicants and then doing call backs for the VS and the TC streams together, but I didn't ask for an exact timescale.
Yes that would be amazing! Good luck to us both
I am also waiting for Forsters but I read on TCLA somewhere that they wont be holding interviews until they can do so in person.- Status
