    Nope nothing either! I went to an open day and they said they assess your application before giving you a WG

    I submitted my Winter anyway because I don’t want to be disadvantaged if it’s rolling so I suppose they have two apps to go through. Does anyone know if they did ACs for either the TC last year or the winter for this year?

Also, this year I took a hyper organised approach to my applications where I had them all ready and got them sent off in the first few days.

    why do you actually want to work in commercial law? (honest)

    Honestly, I was doing mind-numbing hours in investment banking and a VP who laughed at me for studying history chucked a pensions contract at me and said I had two weeks to summarise it.
