    Morning all! Ropes and Gray. Advice given was variable and nobody seemed to have consensus so I took the opportunity to ask Ropes directly for their input. Maya very kindly came back to me a minute ago with very detailed clarification around what they want. Ultimately, tie back to your own...

    You’re doing well lasting 10 minutes. If I go more than 3 I get nausea and the shakes 😂

    Hi everyone! Hope everyone is coping ok and getting through this cycle as best you can 💖 Just wondering if anyone, past or present, progressed with Ropes and Gray and might be able to give any pointers on the application. It’s a real favourite of mine but my grades are poor (reasons for it but...

    If I applied to Akin on 5/12 but haven’t heard anything, is it safe to assume pfo or is a test invite still possible? I got through to TI last year and it took ages to get the test but have a sinking feeling this time 😞

    Don’t lose heart, you’ll get there! I’m also on round 2 (possibly 3) and it’s relentless and demoralising. Many people do this cycle after cycle but the only people who will never get a TC are the ones who give up…. Couple of thoughts though, maybe look at the applications you made that were...

    Yep, rejected last year but progressed this time. It’s so incredibly competitive. Keep an open mind and pick yourself up. It’s all about the resilience and let’s face it, we need it in abundance in this game 🤝

    If it helps I have really naff grades and did my degree from home, scraping a 2:1, have BCC at A Level and awful GCSEs. Degree was through the uni of London international but still, not oxbridge. I also went to insight evening last year and was rejected but managed to progress this cycle. I...

    That’s insightful, thank you! Any idea if ‘on hold’ is a good/bad sign?

    I tried to do the same and it gives me the same error message it did previously which is worrying. I have confirmation of submission but no confidence they can actually view it. Hope I’m wrong but tempted to email them
