[QUOTE="sleepylawyer, post: 184429, member: 33892"] Hi, I previously posted on here a while back introducing myself and my journey and now I have come to a very important milestone in this journey, my first application cycle. As a penultimate year law student, I am looking to apply to a few vacation schemes this year, I have selected the following firms as they align with my interests and I meet the academic requirements for them. - Macfarlanes - Freshfields - Clifford Chance - Akin Gump - Linklaters - Herbert Smith Freehills - Milbank - Skadden I understand the level of competitiveness involved in each and every one of these firms but through all the hours I have dedicated towards my career, the research, the events and every person who I have met, some of whom have told me my dream was unrealistic, others who have been in my shoes and helped motivate me towards it, I believe that after all that, something certainly has to workout. The firms above take applications on a non-rolling basis which means I will have a bit more time in terms of spacing out when I want to send them out, I have made a timetable on how I will work on each application and when, meaning I have enough time to dedicate for all of them evenly, my next steps are to work on my commercial awareness and Watson Glaser abilities, whilst balancing my time for university and BIUCAC, a commercial awareness competition which rewards its winners with great opportunities within the legal field. That is what this thread will involve in a nutshell :), I will try to update it regularly, not only as a way to keep myself in check but also in case anyone has any questions or would like to share any advice.
