Hey there, this happened in my first application cycle too. I used quite a lot of time during the summer to process the rejections (Honestly it's so hard). But what I can say is really take your time and do not be so hard on yourself. You have done so well in securing two vacation schemes, and you should know that these experiences will significantly boost your chances in the next cycle (If used properly haha). I know it's a cliche but really searching for a TC can be a marathon. Keep running until you reach your goal!Hey all, long time lurker here. I am just looking for advice. I was luckily enough to score 2 vac schemes this year, and I really enjoyed them but I failed in converting both of them to TC offers. I took the feedback from the first one and used it in the second one, but I guess this didn't work. They do have particularly low offer rates but honestly it's really affected my self confidence and I don't think I could bear getting onto another one and still not getting a TC. I really don't know what to do
The way I approached this is by contacting future trainees on Linkedin. Some may respond/message back with general insights.Does anyone know if there is a database/similar of insights from vacation schemes for different firms?
I'm sorry you are losing self-confidence. Take some time to bounce back from the rejections. Securing vacation schemes is an achievement in itself so you are probably very near to the finish line. Don't lose hope. We all believe in you Remember the iceberg illusion! you got this!Hey all, long time lurker here. I am just looking for advice.

Thank you very much for this Jaysen.Hey Asil - only if it makes sense in the application.
For example, it might make sense to include this in your justification for applying to a firm if you are discussing a particular practice area and it reflects how much the firm is growing that practice area.
Alternatively, it might be relevant for a commercial question.
That said, there's no need to try to show commercial awareness in this way unless the firm has asked a relevant question. Often this can come across as forced/being mentioned for the sake of it.
Have you tried calling them?Hey everyone, my Watson Glaser link for my direct tc baker McKenzie app isn’t working - i tried to sit the test yesterday but it said session expired. It’s due today and I haven’t heard anything back from grad rec.
[email protected]
is this the right email to contact them ? I’m getting worried
HI i have still not heard anything back from CRS direct london tc so don't worry@SOAS22 @CallumJR Hi - just saw your posts about CRS.
I haven't heard anything - you guys both applied for London Direct TC?
@CallumJR - You mentioned the AC date - I received a general email saying this date too, but a while back. Did they get back and invite you to AC?
Thank you both - and anyone else who has any info!
Is there a way to obtain a certified declaration from your school?Has anyone ever had an offer taken away because they have been unable to locate their GCSE certificates? I need to send them off as part of a screening process, but I have not seen them for at least 10 years! The online system to get new certificates seems to take a long time, so I am a bit concerned
When do u think we will hear ???@SOAS22 @CallumJR Hi - just saw your posts about CRS.

This isn’t going to happen.Has anyone ever had an offer taken away because they have been unable to locate their GCSE certificates?

Oh I'll see if that's a possibility - thanks!Is there a way to obtain a certified declaration from your school?
Hm I have found a news article that mentions my results - grades, not subjects though. Might this be acceptable?This isn’t going to happen.
Your school might be able to provide a form of confirmation of the grades you achieved. Check if you/your parents have anything in writing from the school, even if it is an email that confirms your results.
But a firm is not going to rescind an offer purely on this basis.
