    Rejections from Peters & Peters and Orrick ages ago. I didn't apply to the others.

    I'm sorry. Was this for direct TC? When did you apply?

    Nothing from them yet.

    I know a few firms take applications that are rejected for VSs and re-review them as if they're direct TC applications just in case. So that might be why? I had this with Stephenson Harwood in a previous application cycle and I'm fairly sure Farrer do it too.

    I definitely agree. I had much more luck applying in the Autumn/Winter but then Covid took away my Vacation Schemes. I'm the same candidate now but getting rejection after rejection so I think timing is important. Good luck though - if this cycle doesn't work out then next cycle will be our time!

    Thanks. Not sure if this is good news for me or if they've just forgotten about me. I applied well before the deadline. Who knows. Sorry about your rejection - there will be others!

    I'm sorry to hear this. Do you mind me asking which office this was for, whether it was post-app for direct TC and when you applied? I still haven't heard back.

    I think it depends why you missed it. If it's due to poor time management then it's likely to be viewed differently to being hospitalised and in a coma. Just email the firm, explain the situation and ask if you can take the test. The worst that can happen is that they say no.

    Applications and CVs - yours required for new TCLA content

    Hi Jessica, I have various Apply4Law applications, a FF personal statement and a CV/Cover Letter application that I'm happy to submit. Let me know if that would help.

    Hahaha, if anything, that might help you! You're memorable and endearing if nothing else.

    I emailed them with an update of my grades and no one responded... Doesn't look good for my prospects haha.

    Radio silence since I applied unfortunately.

    That's incredible! Well done! I attended Open Days at both of these firms and just loved them both so much - this would have been a really tough decision for me if I were in your position (although I'd definitely switch your tough decision for my zero offers haha). Congratulations!!

    Thanks. Are you sure? I emailed them when my exam results were released (after the deadline) and they emailed me this morning to say that they've updated my application - seems like a waste of time if they aren't even going to consider my application haha. Having said that, anything is possible...

    Thanks for this. I've checked them both and neither have been updated. I'm sorry to hear you were rejected. Was that this cycle for London?

    Has anyone heard back from Vinson & Elkins, Gibson Dunn, Weil, Travers, Macs, TLT, AG, Dentons, HFW or Boodle for direct TC (just the London offices)?
