harbottle and lewis' application cycle ends 31 May (doesnt state a time) - does this mean i have until 23:59 on 31 May to submit or do I have until midnight tomorrow?
Probably 23:59 on 31st but try to avoid such tight deadline going forwards. Apps are best sent when you have had time to reflect and proofharbottle and lewis' application cycle ends 31 May (doesnt state a time) - does this mean i have until 23:59 on 31 May to submit or do I have until midnight tomorrow?
Out of curiosity, how many of you on TCLA has been applying for more than 2 application cycles? I'm feeling rather defeated lately. Feels like I'm not getting anywhere closer to landing a TC.

I’ve loved reading through everyone’s motivational posts and wish I could bottle up this positivity!
I definitely struggled at times with the process. I distinctly remember one Friday in February, I had the Watson Glaser to do for Freshfields and it was the day after my Linklaters AC. Everyone on my AC had gotten a positive result and a phone call in the morning and no call or email came for me. I knew it must be bad news and I was so upset. At the same time I was still waiting on A&O and it had been around two weeks of continuous anxiety about it. Everything felt like it was too much and I was so overwhelmed. I cried to my mentor at Rare and think I may have even called @Jaysen that day in panic too. That afternoon it felt almost impossible to get a TC, I felt there was something wrong with me and that perhaps this simply wasn’t meant to be for me.
However, fast forward around 3-4 weeks and I had my AC with Freshfields and got a call at 11am the very next day offering me my TC. This time I (embarrassingly) cried with pure joy and elation- @Jaysen can testify to this too as he was the third person I rang to tell and the tears were still in full force.
the moral of this story is not that I’m a bit of a crier, but that one of my darkest days and one of the best days of my life were a few mere weeks apart. I got my TC at a time where I’d half resigned myself to thinking it just wasn’t meant to be for me.
Things really can turn around in the blink of an eye so don’t give up, keep pushing, and know your time will come.
Thank you so much- I really hope this does help and offers some positivity too!You amazing lady! Just what we needed I think!
So very proud of you Alice!
Have you guys checked your junk mail? That it where I received my confirmation from Pinsent Masons.
Many of us received an email confirming that they received our application and will let us know asap.Has anyone received an acceptance/rejection mail from Pinsent Masons yet? I filled the application more than 2 weeks ago but haven't received anything other than a mail informing that they've received my application.

Thank you ☺️ You’re going to smash it hands down, no doubts whatsoever!!Personally, your story is one of the best, if not the best, source of motivation for me heading into interviews this summer Alice I'm sure others feel similarly to me!

Absolutely notSame. Do you know how long are they expected to take to announce the results? (rough idea)
Hi all, sorry for all my questions regarding the Macfarlanes app, but I was particularly concerned about how to answer this question. "On this page please give details of time spent out of education or work, for example time spent travelling.(50)' I would assume they mean if you took a gap year, which I didn't. However I did travel a lot around Asia after graduation, but I'm not sure if this really what they're looking for.
