Thank you so much, this is immensely helpful!I think you are fine to keep most of the general themes and substantive motivations the same: firstly, because they were judged good enough to have your application progressed in the past; secondly, because the firm will have no expectations for your fundamental motivations and candidate profile to have drastically changed in the space of one year. However, you also do not want to seem like you are unmotivated to work on improving yourself and your application. As such, I would aim to include any new experiences or achievements that you can. Similarly, I would try to add new insights you have learnt about the firm: for instance, has it worked on any new major deals/cases, or received important market recognition? Adding these points could strengthen your analysis and make your motivations look more persuasive. Finally, review your writing critically to see if there are any potential improvements regarding style: can you express yourself in a a more concise way? can any points be better phrased? should any sentences be shortened? etc.
I believe you can yesSorry to hear this, if we are rejected for vac scheme, can we make a dtc application in the same cycle for withers?
No - you don’t always have to interact with the firm if you can show you have been researching about the firm in other ways.I have an AC coming up next week and something’s been playing on my mind. I’ve had absolutely no contact with the firm through events or law fairs. I did try connecting with trainees/associates on LinkedIn, but most of them didn’t really accept my connection request. For context, I did my undergrad abroad and while I did attend virtual law fairs, I haven’t really interacted with this firm specifically. Would this really detrimental to my chances of being successful in the AC?
Can i ask when you heard back from the written exercise pleasehas anyone done the Bristows first round interview?
sure i got the email on 28th feb! and gave my WE on 13thCan i ask when you heard back from the written exercise please
I’m not sure but I haven’t heard back yet and did mine in mid FebHi, does anyone know how long Pinsent Masons usually take to get back to applicants post-AC?
Nope I got a VS then a TC without speaking to anyone priorI have an AC coming up next week and something’s been playing on my mind.

I received two VS offers with firms of which I had no prior interaction. I would say the depth of your research into the firm is much more important to your chances of being successful!I have an AC coming up next week and something’s been playing on my mind.

getting scared lolWBD is really keeping us in agony till the last day of the week…
Where did they say they would get back to us this week? I don’t think any of my emails mention that 🥲getting scared lol
I also did mine back in Feb. From what I understand, Pinsent's do all their assessment centres for all offices and then send out all offers at once. I saw someone had an AC with them this week so I'm assuming that they're still ongoing. Last year offers were made the first week in March so I'm excepting to hear back within the next week or so. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!I’m not sure but I haven’t heard back yet and did mine in mid Feb
Well done 🥳I think they have communicated with everyone by now, so I can this: Cooley VS Offer!! 🥳
Thanks to this forum/the TCLA for being so supportive!
It’s still sinking in that I’ve managed to secure a VS at a top firm! Will have to keep pinching myself, I’m so excited! 😁
