Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[Tcapplicant]

I actually don’t understand how CC could have read and gone through each application in that short of time. Only bitter because I’ve always been rejected and I spent months on that application ‍‍‍

 

[Alice G]

Rejection from CC too haha!!

Have they invited anybody - doesn’t look it?

Literally my thoughts!! Seriously congratulations to anyone who gets it!! Will be rooting for you through and through

 

[Alice G]

I guess anyone who hasn’t heard this is probably a good sign!!

I have seen a couple of AC invites on student room for what it's worth...have to say I don't envy their grad rec giving themselves such a tight turnaround but fair play!

 

[Camilla]

CC rejection too. I am genuinely shocked as I thought that was my best application EVER.

Exactly, I spent so long on that application too - shouldn’t have bothered. Made sure it was all proof read NO EXAGGERATION LIKE 100 TIMES!

So gutted, and I don’t believe they can have read all those applications so quickly. Very odd...

 

[J Wu]

CC rejection too. Nothing more we can do on that front; just got to keep perservering with all other remaining avenues

I think this is the thread you're looking for https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6119930&page=77

CC rejection for me as well. I had more hope on this app as it was my best ever app so far

 

[Camilla]

Everything happens for a reason. Tomorrow we can start working on our best applications yet.

 

[Jaysen]

So sorry to hear this guys. If it’s any consolation, CC was my favourite firm when I was applying - I spent ages on the application - and they also rejected me. You never know what’s around the corner!

I've just received an invite to an AC with Herbert Smith Freehills as well. I am keen to hear more about anyone else's experiences with HSF as I know they have one of the hardest assessment centres : )

Hey Lauren- congratulations on the HSF AC! May I ask when you applied and for what scheme? How soon after the test did you get a response. Congratulations once again!

 

[mlaw1234]

CC rejection also, shocked how rapid all of these rejections have come through!

 

[Daniel Boden]

Also got a CC rejection - head up guys, clearly they have an unusual way and system to sort applicants! It’s their loss for sure! Best of luck to all of you and Merry Christmas

 

[Dheepa]

CC rejection as well. Feeling a bit low as this means half of my applications this year have been rejected. And this time last year I had two AC invites for the following year.

Not sure if I should start submitting more applications for firms that haven't closed yet or just hold out and hope for the best

 

[Camilla]

Hey Lauren- congratulations on the HSF AC! May I ask when you applied and for what scheme? How soon after the test did you get a response. Congratulations once again!

I have just submitted my HSF application. Is it correct that they do not ask for any work experience details?

 

[Soliha]

I have just submitted my HSF application. Is it correct that they do not ask for any work experience details?

I remember I wrote narratives for work experience section. Double check

 

[Alice G]

I have just submitted my HSF application. Is it correct that they do not ask for any work experience details?

I remember there being a work experience section, was this definitely for a Vac Scheme?
