    Omg the craziest thing just happened to me. I am just writing this down so I know I am not dreaming or making things up in my mind!!! I was initially rejected for mini-pupillage by a set, but just now I got an email saying that they had a mix up in sending the scores and I actually ranked 6th...

    Does anyone have tips on improving VI performance? It seems to be that one thing I always get stuck on in an application process. I work so hard on my written apps to get the VI but somehow could never pass it. So frustrating :( Would appreciate some tips

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    Progress update: Received PFO from NRF winter and Willkie spring back to back. NRF was expected because SJT is my weakness and I know it!! But the rejection from Willkie actually hurts so much. I put so much effort into the VI and it is one of the firms that resonates with me in terms of...

    Manifesting a TC: An international non-law's TC journey

    A very quiet week so far but still feeling blessed with the opportunities from last week. Dechert written exercise was more straightforward than I imagined, but overall I cannot say that I am confident. We will wait and see! So far here's an overview of my VS and Open Day application progress...

    For those that have done the Dechert written task, did you receive an email confirmation after you submitted? I only had a bubble popping up on my screen saying "your output has been saved and submitted", but the timer wouldn't stop and I also am not redirected to a different page? Is that...

    Jones Day AC and thrilled. But they swapped me to Summer because of student visa restrictions I cannot work during the Winter or Spring dates. Has that happened to anyone before?
