    Get better soon! Hope you're feeling okay? I'm sure it's all going to work out and the firm will be more than willing to rearrange your AC once you let them know.

    For those wondering about Travers, their grad rec mentioned in an event with Vantage that they'll aim to get back to people end of February/early March, but may need more time in which case they'll email applicants to let them know. :)

    Hey- this happened to me the other day and I nearly messed up my chances of securing a really cool opportunity cause I was so caught up by a specific application. I'm guessing things like "it's done" "you can't change it", "worrying won't help in any way" aren't really helping you. What helps...

    Hey! Adding to James' response, I'd be more than happy to help with competency questions. If you'd like to talk through an answer to a question that you find difficult feel free to DM me . I consider them my strongest point and although this is my first application cycle I've done competency...

    Hey! I had a mock group case study exercise the other day and I came across something quite unusual in the material presented. The task was to advise the client on which company of three to acquire, and for one of the companies it was noted that accurate figures for forecasted cash flow were not...

    There will be assessment centres up until March, so no need to panic just yet! :)

    Amazing! Is it gonna be in person or online? And how many days are you given to prep for it?

    Hey! I reached out to them in December for the dates- the vac schemes will run between 20th June – 1st July, and between 4th – 15th July (one in Bristol and one in London, which sadly meant I couldn't apply due to a clash). They couldn't confirm yet during which of the two blocks the London vac...

    Let me just say that this doesn't mean anything bad necessarily! The test might be the same but the organisations might be very different! I have done Arctic Shores for 2 companies in the past- got into the first, didn't get into the second, more or less the same traits. Plus the second company...

    I went to Travers' website, clicked the apply button, chose the summer vac scheme vacancy, and logged in. That redirected me to a new application containing all my info from the application I had submitted. I have to say though this isn't something that worked for other firms I applied to which...

    Quick question... for those who applied to Travers, does logging into your account let you basically see the entire unsubmitted application? I got an email confirming that my application was received but didn't expect to be able to see the whole thing again? EDIT: Okay, so turns out it lets you...

    Hope we hear good news soon! Same really- I've done this assessment two times before for non-law companies and most of the traits are quite consistent....then there will be 2-3 things that are just complete opposites plus some weird combinations (e.g., very inclined to be innovative, very okay...

    I'd second what @GXA123 said. Of course I'm guessing they received a huge chunk of the applications on the last day so maybe they're just still going through the pile of applications- if you're getting really worried about this then I'd say email. :) @GXA123, do you have any guesses when...

    That's great to know! Thank you all- I'm waiting to hear back after a GBA and thinking/planning ahead for ACs is the only way for me to stay sane and calm! :)
