    I also think there will be somewhat an overlap in the content that you are revising in some cases and especially if you are applying to similar firms. For example, for competency answers you will be drawing from the same examples (perhaps will need to tailor your wording slightly to the firm)...

    Hey @jniceexo , thank you for your kind comment and sorry for the delay in responding. You're right about using that experience as practice. In the rejection email, CMS said they would reach out to us in Feb for feedback. I will definitely take them up on it, but I think it won't be in time for...

    Got rejected post-AC from CMS yesterday and honestly taken a bit of a confidence knock from it. I have an AC with Bird & Bird coming up and would really appreciate any advice/tips.

    CMS AC invite! Really thought I messed up my VI by not fully answering a question and having to fit the answer I missed into the next question. I'm never that confident with VIs so I'm really surprised! Hope this week brings good news for others too :)

    Same here. I'm not that confident with how I did on the VI, but who knows. I think we will hear soon given that they're already giving out offers

    That's so disappointing! :( I emailed first thing this morning so hopefully it'll get sorted soon. The application questions were the same so I'm thinking it should just be a case of changing the application on the system. Fingers crossed 🤞

    Advice pls! I've made a very last min application and feeling tired. I've made an embarrassing mistake by accidentally applying for an Insight Scheme (which I'm not eligible for) instead of Vacation Scheme for Osborne Clarke. My application is submitted and I've been automatically assigned the...

    I was also worried about that. Found it really hard to contact a referee given I graduated 3 years ago. My personal tutor doesn't provide references to anyone who has graduated more than one year ago and now she no longer works at my uni. I was quite confident in my application, but oh well
