    No. No response to anything. I've got confirmation that I've applied and Apply4Law clearly shows that I've applied but if people are being invited to the AC then that means they're at Stage 4 of the 5 stage application process and my application is still at Stage 1. If they want me at all then...

    I didn't have an interview. I've had literal silence since my application was submitted. I even emailed to follow up a month ago and give them the grades from my summer exams and haven't had a response.

    Does this mean if I haven't heard back then I'll be rejected? Some rejections were posted a while ago. I haven't heard anything at all.

    Congratulations. Do you mind me asking when you applied? Was this for the London office for direct TC?

    Bloody hell, that's quite the wait time! Didn't someone else say they'd had a rejection already?

    Most firms pay pretty well for their vacation schemes - some pay £500 per week! I'm in a similar position because I'm a teacher so I don't get to choose my holiday. Luckily, a number of vacation schemes fall into school holidays but most of them don't.

    Yeah. To be honest, it felt like "Here are five really basic things we expect from an application: academics; transferable skills; commercial awareness; desire to be a lawyer and attention to detail . Your application was missing at least one of them (and therefore you are substandard). If...

    Still waiting on nine firms so there's still some hope but looking unlikely. Firms often send out waves of rejections so if you haven't been rejected then that sounds like good news! Good luck!

    Presumably they mean it's blind at the point when they progress your application, not blind the whole way through. If you put it on the form at all then it wouldn't be blind the whole way through. Which firm was this for?
