I got my rejection from Wiggin today! Good luck to anyone still waiting to hear back. <3

 

[Aliceczernia]

Anyone heard back from Ashurst post AC?

 

[virtmdo]

Realistically those who have not heard back from Bakers should assume they have failed ?
Or best case scenario we are on a waiting list until some offer holders hopefully say no?
Either way why don't they tell us. .

I got my AC invite over 10 days after they initially started handing out invites. I dont think they do these things in batches tbh

Still nothing for me. Do you know what the next stages of the application process are?

 

[spamelinazoid]

Like mid may, around the 20th? I also got my VI invite quite a bit later

when did you get your AC invite?

These things take time - it’s not always possible to tell everyone at the same time.

You will hear back eventually, whether you are successful, on a wait list, or have been unsuccessful.

Not necessarily - I have known people without this profile (eg not a 65% average and straight As) get into Slaughters - but when they did there was usually something else very interesting or exceptional about them.

Thank you @Jessica Booker!

 

[F12M34L]

anyone knows if RPC is rolling or non-rolling?

 

[Aliceczernia]

Has anybody else received a blanket email from Ashurst about the delay in marking of the case study?

 

[AlexC]

Still nothing from Ashurst post-AC?

Still nothing!! But I did JUST get an email saying that they pushed decisions back at at the latest 23rd of June because they are still marking AC's

 

[Ghassen]

anyone knows if RPC is rolling or non-rolling?

I am wondering as well.

 

[Aliceczernia]

Anything from Stephenson Harwood for direct TC?

Is the deadline the for the direct TC 31st July?

 

[jrb_law48]

anything from Bakers today? any PFOs?

I think realistically the PFOs for us remaining will come by Friday after they draw them up. Unless they turn out to be like NRF or HL where they just ignore you for 3 months and then tell you they don't provide feedback lol

For a cohort of 40 trainees across 2 vac schemes and 1 direct TC application route consisting of 5 assessment centres, I dont know if it’s reasonable to assume 3 people getting TCs on 1 day means everyone else automatically got rejected already

Not everyone who got an offer has TCLA, or posts about it, so it could be much more than 3. Also, at my AC, grad recruit said they’ve already given out TC offers to the spring vac schemers. I don’t want to be negative for no reason, but being realistic, I do think there’s a very high chance that they did gave out the offers in one batch yesterday. I really do hope I’m wrong though
