    Cooley open day is the only 'yes' so far. Linklaters PFO post-Cappfinity exercise.

    If we haven't heard from W&C, is it a rejection by now? Heard nothing after sending the application. Applied to a couple of firms this cycle where I've done VIs and/or ACs before and not sure it's honestly worthwhile. I have had the opposite experience where I applied to Travers three times...

    I think that's very reasonable of them and I don't believe it'll harm your chances. There'll probably wait before making offers.

    I do this in a single box just after the exam results. They usually ask about it.

    It's a 'good friends' network with Macfarlanes, 'best friends' is Slaughter and May. They can choose any firm they want - this is the advantage over having an office there. Plus it's an acknowledgement, I think, of the other firms' expertise e.g. Slaughter and May has worked with Paul, Weiss...

    I got White & Case VI and AC without any Open Day - they're not essential, but they are nice to do, and some of them are still open for applications such as Cooley and W&C. Chin up and keep plugging away at it. Something will come up.

    Is three Vacation Schemes too many? What about six work epxeirneces? Not showing off, genuinely curious. Some of these are years old. We're talking 2015 to 2016. The rest are all 2018 onwards. If there are four boxes, should we only add four?

    This was in August. They seemingly didn’t like me emailing. I copied in lots of people. Maybe that was the issue. They didn’t give me a TC. It came up in the feedback.

    Maybe three months is an extreme example. How do I avoid getting frustrated by delays? I already feel like I’m playing catch up with my career and am in a hurry to start. Was it wrong to call out a firm for a three month wait post-VS?

    As an applicant, I hate this. Everyone should hear simultaneously I think. That’s probably impossible. It just feels like favouritism. It’s worse after a vac scheme. Especially if you’ve waited ages already.
