Heard nothing. Guess there’s no luck for me.
But interesting to know how many people are invited to the AC?

But interesting to know how many people are invited to the AC?
Havnt heard back yet so I’m assuming it’s a pfo
At least we have some reassurance that with a bit of refinements of our application we can probably get to the next cycle’s AC
Hi everyone, I just received my results, and I was wondering if it is a good idea to send them to some of the firms I applied to for DTCs. I am quite happy with how I performed, so I think them knowing my updated results would increase my chances of progressing to interview. Let me know your thoughts!
Think there’s no harm in doing so! Worst thing is they don’t consider it. But if some firms mention specifically that they don’t take individual grades into account then I guess there’s not a need to do so
That’s true. I feel like I’ve already stretched mysself this cycle, and don’t quite have any more room for improvement apart from getting more experience which I can then use on my next cycle applications. Which in turn puts me in the same old loop.
Good luck with your other applications
Question re reusing personal statements! I didn't make it to the Freshfields application review stage as I didn't pass their new online assessment thingy, so could I reuse my personal statement again next cycle? I was really proud of it and was devastated that it wasn't read, but don't know the rules surrounding this. Any advice appreciated!
It doesn't always work like that. Two of the applications where I got to ACs in my first cycle I didn't get past first round in my second even with arguably improved applications. It was disappointing (and a but of a kick in the gut to be honest at the time). However I did go on to progress with other firms and secure a TC after a vac scheme.
So basically don't assume anything but also do persevere.
The second cycle I made far more and much better applications which led to success.
Good luck with your applications.
I am honestly so confused right now. I haven't received anything from WFW after my VI- I know they had an AC a few days and they only invite 8 people in one AC, is it a PFO? or is it a "we will call this chap if someone drops out" - atp, j reject me
It'll depend on the firm but a lot of firms, where they have space, will let you join earlier. On my vac scheme I was asked what cohort I'd be starting in. Basically I would cross the bridge of lead times when it comes to it.
REED SMITH TC OFFER!!! Thank you to everyone on the forum for all the advice and support!
For those still doing the ACs and waiting, don't worry, they said the calls would be staggered; just really shocked they got back to me within 2 days of my AC!

Congratulations! Did you go through the Direct TC route? I saw people on the forum just getting rejections post VI
