A good response I hope!

Haven't checked it yet - I am only up to the end of H, so still a fair number of law firms to be contacted yet.... I always knew there was a lot of law firms but even I didn't realise how many there were.

And Goodwin Proctor?

Latham & Watkins 2022 TC rejection ... wonder if they filled all their places from VS?

Highly likely I reckon.

Rejection from Latham & Watkins. It was the firm that I really wanted. Absolutely heartbroken

Edinburgh and Glasgow

I applied to the same - will await my rejection email. Bit disappointing as they don't allow graduates to apply for the vacation scheme in Scotland but it is what it is I suppose!

Hi guys, I just passed the SJT for A&O, does anyone know what the next steps are? thanks

Really sorry to hear. If it helps I also got rejected from Latham today for a direct TC (forgot I'd submitted the app) and, not to blow my own trumpet, I would like to think I'm a reasonable candidate so that suggests to me that they got their 2022 cohort from their winter and summer vac schemes. Onwards and upwards for this cycle for you guys - best of luck!

Congratulations!

Thoughts on re-applying to a firm after being rejected after an interview for a vac scheme? Will this be starting an application on a negative??

if they take into account candidates who failed previous interviews, of course not. So your app won’t start on a negative

Great, that is good to hear! Thanks a lot!

Rejection from Latham & Watkins

Only Travers Smith and White and Case left to go! In all honesty I have mentally tapped out of this application season.

Best of luck to everyone still waiting!
