[QUOTE="Ali A, post: 168276, member: 21782"] Hello friends, Since the last post, I got rejected for Dechert post-VI and written assessment. I thought I did well enough but maybe the written assessment was not up to scratch (I remember having some typos in there). I then passed my first ever SJT with Bakers and have now been invited to complete a VI which is very exciting. I also got invited to the Vinson & Elkins VI and have since completed it. I think it went well but let us see what happens as it is a very competitive firm to get an AC for. Last but by no means least, I just got offered an AC from Freshfields for the direct training contract!!!!! I am over the moon and will prepare well for this as it is a great opportunity. It has been the first time since my PFO post-vacation scheme at White & Case that I feel I am close to achieving my dream again! P.S. I thought I would say how things can change so quickly in an application cycle. I think you can see I was slowly losing hope in my post in Jan after 10 straight PFOs but fast forward a month and I have got through the initial stages for 4 top firms now. Just shows everyone should keep their hopes up and try as hard as possible, as you never know what is around the corner. Onwards and upwards! [/QUOTE]
