I don't think so 🤣 I'm just (stupidly) trying to look out for signs

Mine too - but no indication of what it means!
Does anyone (or @Jessica Booker ) know if there are any 'cap' in applying for a TC as a graduate? (e.g. you no longer count as a graduate if you have been working for 2 years or more)

Hi Jessica,
what is the etiquette on emailing firms about the status of your application? Haven’t heard from Slaughter yet and wondering if it is acceptable to email them as I am interviewing for final round with another firm…
mine just updated to 'completed '... might be a rejection since all of the previous apps I did also show as 'completed'.😢CC portal updated today
omg no what? i think everyone's showing up as completed after the interview, no?
Thoughts on applying to a firm where I rejected an open day invite? It was an application-based invite, and I was lucky to receive it (only 15-20 were invited), but I couldn't attend at the last minute due to personal circumstances. I did email the firm to tell them this at the time. Is there any point in applying for a TC with the firm when I rejected the open day invite? @Jessica Booker any thoughts on this would be great TIA
