    Thank you!! I'm very disappointed with Simmons, idk why firms feel as though they don't need to say anything to you!! If you're going to reject me just get it over with :confused:

    Thank you so much!! This is not for a law firm, I just realised how I had not practised competency questions so I am making a document with questions and examples.

    This might be a very silly question, but I am preparing an answer for 'TELL ME ABOUT A TIME YOU HAD TO PERSUADE SOMEONE ROUND TO YOUR WAY OF THINKING?' and I can only think of when I have persuaded my parents to let me do things lol. They are very very strict and so stubborn and I have been...

    I believe it is still open. I went to a TS session on application tips and they said it doesn't matter if you apply on the day of the deadline, maybe around 12 pm or 3 pm is good but within the last 10 minutes is not the best time for submitting.

    I have just seen someone on LinkedIn get an offer for a summer vac scheme for Linklaters!!! If this is true, waiting 5-6 weeks for rejection is so cruel.

    I needed to hear this, thank you so much. This is my 1st time applying for VC and TCs but my 2nd year applying to firms. I don't have a dream firm but for some firms that I research, there may be things that I really like about them but I guess I need to not attach myself to these firms so early...

    Yes, that's right and I didn't find a section to indicate my preference... I'm glad you asked this because I was lowkey panicking when I realised it just said Vac Scheme instead of Spring Vac Scheme when looking at my application on Candid.
