I would wait until next week as they might be really busy and with the holidays coming up they might not be as responsive. Send an email after the 8th of April if you do not hear anything before then.

Why are we getting so many law firms saying they got unprecedented number of apps? Just off my head, I can remember that SH, Akin, Cooley, Dechert all said this. Are they being nice to not hurt applicants feeling, are some firms just getting more visibility or is the number of career seeker in the legal industry increasing in general? Genuine curiosity🧐
Vs but already done! Quite disappointed in my attempt. I ran out of time and I know I had spelling and gramma errors I didn’t fix! It went so fast
With online presence rising I think more people find out about firms they have never heard of or considered. With application forms being online and more sites like this one listing and prompting people students are just more aware of firms. With the cost of living in London more are applying to highly paid firms. More people who may end up working in regions apply to London and think if I can do that for 5 years I can buy a house outright if I move back home then.
From my experience it’s unprecedented every time! That word is so overused. I remember getting told that when applying for entry level legal jobs in Australia like 5 years ago. Never changes.

AI is partly to blame (apparantly) as more people are resorting to it to churn out applications.
But I think it’s also something that firms have been saying for a long time now when they get more applications than they need.

Mayer Brown PFO after all this time
Taylor Wessing PFO post AC 
Absolutely gutted, was my favourite firm.

As others have mentioned I think it’s just something firms say, partly as a justification for the inevitable follow-up sentence ‘we are unable to provide feedback…’
