Rejection for Gowling post AC. Disappointing but we learn from it and go again.

Eversheds PFO post-AC, feels really deflating having gotten so far only to fall at the final hurdle

Going to try and pick myself up by abusing the free Pret trial

I still am for Manchester! Saw one person get a VI but haven’t seen anyone since?

me receiving an invite for Arctic shores from TV having seen how much everyone on here thinks it’s a terrible measure

I wouldn't be worried. Yeah its strange how your feedback reports can be different, but I passed for PwC and Gowling with different feedback. It just depends on what characteristics you show and what the firm looks for rather than needing to reach/pass a benchmark like traditional tests.

Once you get into it its pretty chill so i wouldn't be stressed. Good luck!!!

For AG I think they're staggering it office by office so don't worry too much! From the forum I think the London office has almost finished with the ACs and now they're getting to the rest.

Oh damn what makes you think they've almost done with ACs for the London office? I thought most people were still waiting

FF said in an email to me that they are still going through apps and remaining apps will hear by March. I’ve seen a lot of summer vac scheme offers already being made on socials and think chances of a rejection is likely. I have other great offers which I’m waiting to accept but I want to hear from ff cause I’d select it over one of the offers I already have. Should I email grad rec my dilemma or j wait till March or assume a rejection and accept the other offers?

Yep - Manchester. Someone on here received a VI invite this week for Manchester, but that's it as far as I can tell.

If these are for VSs then you can always accept your VS offers and renage on the one that clashes if you land up being offered one by FF?

I am for London!

Yeah London. Seen a load of VIs and ACs, I think even a VS offer itself, so not sure what their approach is

Some firms will do it once they know they are interviewing someone. They don't want to be in a position where they offer someone and then have to retract it on the basis of something that's written in their reference.

Oooh, okay thank you Jessica I didn't know this before!
