[QUOTE="Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner, post: 229127, member: 35674"] [JUSTIFY]Hey guys, I’ve seen a few people post threads like this one where they track applications so I figured I might as well jump on the bandwagon too! By way of background, I’m an LLB Law graduate from a northern RG (Newcastle, Sheffield, Lvpl). I graduated with a very high 2:1 (68.5%). I achieved an ABB at A-level and am from a lower socioeconomic background (comp state school, free school meals, council estate, first gen, etc). I will be regularly posting on this thread (likely a weekly update) to keep track of my apps and if I ever secure a VS or TC (probs impossible lmao). Here is a breakdown of my app cycle thus far: [U][B]Apps that were rejections:[/B][/U] Jones Day Winter VS post app HSF Kramer Winter VS post test Paul, Weiss Winter VS post app Cleary Gottlieb Winter VS post app White & Case Winter VS post app and test Hogan Lovells Lift Off post job sim (stage 2) Clifford Chance Direct TC post WG Slaughter and May Direct TC post app [B][U]Apps currently in progress:[/U][/B] Freshfields Direct TC job sim (stage 2) Weil Spring VS SJT and VI Willkie Farr & Gallagher Spring VS waiting post app Dechert Spring VS waiting post app Goodwin Summer VS waiting post app Akin Gump Spring VS waiting post app Milbank Summer VS stage 1 test Skadden Summer VS written exercise [B][U]Apps to submit (Spring and Summer VS):[/U][/B] Reed Smith Winter VS Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher Spring VS Cooley Summer VS Debevoise Spring VS Morrison Foerster Summer VS Sidley Austin Spring VS Covington Summer VS Travers Smith Summer VS Ropes & Gray Spring VS Orrick Summer VS Winston & Strawn Summer VS [B][U]Apps to submit if no VS (Direct TC route):[/U][/B] Ashurst Direct TC Mayer Brown Direct TC Stephenson Harwood Direct TC King & Spalding Direct TC Baker McKenzie Direct TC BCLP Direct TC Macfarlanes Direct TC Watson Farley & Williams Direct TC Fried Frank Direct TC Paul Hastings Direct TC I don’t plan on submitting all these apps. It most likely will depend on how this cycle goes. Should I secure a VS and TC I won’t be sending TC apps. Lowkey still in shock about Skadden inviting me to complete their written exercise! It’s the first app I have properly progressed with so far![/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
