omg congrats!! 🙌

Was this for summer VS?

 

[Mollie27]

I got the VI invite this afternoon, very surprised...

Hi, do you have any tips for the video interview? Or can you remember what sorts of questions were asked?

CC offer finally 🎉. My most preferred company. That's the end of the application cycle for me. Thank you TCLA for being an amazing help.

Is it direct training contract?

hey! i've applied to 10 firms (atm) and passed the app stage for all except 1 - i did get 3 rejections so far tho and still waiting for the rest, but i do understand how demoralising it can be especially as an international student. it literally feels like your future is entirely dependent on getting an acceptance along with time/visa constraints

HI legallybrunette, as a fellow international student, i have just concluded my applications to Baker McKenzie and Hogan Lovells. Let me know if you're willing to chat further to share experiences and extend motivation...

CC doesn't offer vac schemes (unless you count their SPARK scheme)

 

[e.g.1999]

anyone heard from HL post WG?

Does anyone know how many TCs have been given out by CC?

LW PFO finally!

really confused as to how LW is handing out PFOs. they had said in holding email that we should hear back by now :/

 

[Percypig12]

Have W&C conducted all their Spring ACs or have people recently received VI invites?

Yess they told me as well that I would hear towards the end of January and sent a PFO today. It's really confusing. I thought they lost my application

If Sidley is handing out interview invites to those who applied on the deadline day, does this mean people who applied end of dec are most likely getting rejected?

 

[Legalstalker]

Thought I’d give an update seeing as I got quite a few messages the last time

+ 32 rejections this cycle

Debating if it’s worth me applying to Shoosmiths as my last application?

 

[Mike Wazaoski]

Does anyone know where we are supposed to add in the grades for Gateley? Is it in the description.
