Can anyone help advise me about Slaughter and May. I applied for the Winter Workshop which I was successful at securing. However, I turned it down so I can attend White & Case's Winter Vacation Scheme. I am now just going to apply for the S&M TC which they said I could do. Does anyone know whether it is okay to just send in the same cover letter (obviously updated to reflect the fact that I am applying for the TC not WW). They won't consider it plagiarism or anything like that right? Time is of the essence so I want to make as minimal changes as possible. Any advice on this would be really helpful!

    Hey,

    I sent an application for CC TC yesterday at like 9pm.

    I still haven’t received the invite for WGT.

    I wondered if I should email them, or is it likely they would send it EOD because the hard deadline for test submissions is Sunday 26th.

    I genuinely thought it was automatic…

    I think that they are slowly sending the WG to all the applicants. I believe that, last night, they were inundated with applications.
