Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shaz" data-source="post: 19391" data-attributes="member: 3219">Fourth Post I realise it's been some time since I last updated this thread. So far, I have made a number of applications with rejections coming from the Magic Circle group so far like Linklaters, Clifford Chance and Allen & Overy. On the other hand, I am still waiting to hear back from a handful of firms and have had VI invites at both Mishcon and WFW which has been a great confidence booster <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> A learning curve and something I have surprisingly stuck to is discipline over motivation. This is something Jaysen has said in the TCLA Crash Course event and I think it really helps with churning out consistent applications! I think this is also helpful for those who are feeling low this application cycle because if you can get into the routine of creating good applications, you will eventually find the firm for you. I am looking forward to post-January where I can focus on making TC applications and can prepare for my VS in the Spring. I think also investing in things like The Economist/FT subscription, application reviews, legal career events and books can significantly increase your chances as I've only now just learnt that meeting firms face-to-face is something recruiters like the look of. This has been a bit of a rambling post but I thought I would share it nevertheless. To end, I will say that there is an element of luck in making vacation schemes so it is just a matter of persevering and increasing your odds of being successful <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
