    Hi! I was wondering if anyone was still waiting to hear from A&O? I saw that a lot of people already got their AC (or rejection emails). My application has been under review for more than a month...

    I'm in the same boat, all of my friends have been rejected and they've applied before and after me. Hopefully, we will hear soon!

    Hi guys, how necessary is it to write an introductory paragraph for the Ashurst cover letter? I’m just finishing mine up and I’ve gone straight into the body. Is that generally a no no? Would appreciate any insight :)
    I've just started mine with that I'm a recent graduate and that I'm applying for the Summer Vacation Scheme, it's only 2 lines but I think it just gives a more 'cover letter' like form to it! Plus there's a 1000 words so there's room to do it :)

    I echo what Kelly said. Put in a line or two about who you are and what studies/work you're doing right now. There's plenty of room and its less jarring.

    I applied in October and I’ve heard nada.
    I’ve seen people get rejected and invited to tests/AC who applied after me!
    In some cases, no news is good news! At least there is several of us in the same position, which means that we still have a chance rather than being straight up rejected or forgotten about. I will never understand how firms decide to separate and examine their applications haha
