Hi! Very long shot but I have a Milbank AC on Jan 7th which I sadly may not be able to attend due to work commitments. They weren't able to offer a later date, so I thought about asking here in case one of you has the same problem and would like to swap dates (if it's even allowed, not quite sure yet). I realise this is super unlikely but do lmk

Jeez can’t you call in sick 😭😭

Who knew outlook could have such a hold over us.

I’m currently crashing out massively. I just want an email from grad rec. I emailed Travers Smith about their application in the hope of getting a reply. Just to feel something.

I get that it’s a nerve wracking time, but pointlessly emailing grad recruitment will only mean that it takes longer for you to hear back. They have a finite amount of time. If they spend that time responding to emails that don’t need to be sent, that’s less time they can spend on reviewing applications and letting people know definitively where they stand.

I was only joking I did have a proper question to be fair. This is just a byproduct😂

I’m convinced Candid/Vantage is trolling cos why did I receive a notif only for it to be yet another reminder for Travers Smith…

I’m gna assume this is intentional rage-bait from grad rec and this is them rn:
