Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey
8 applications and only 1 rejection is insane, congrats!!! As for Weil, I've spoken to the graduate recruitment; they aim to let people know the week before the event.

It’s good to see Ropes and Gray are changing their ways! Applying to vac schemes as an Oxbridge graduate is an advantage in itself let alone getting a vac scheme! Both vac schemes I was on took all oxbridge with a dash of RG😄 guess it depends on the firm…- Legalstalker
