Rejection from Edwin Coe after the first round interview. I was apparently shortlisted to the top ten from the first round which makes me feel a little better, but they are only interviewing the top five for now.

Anyone heard from White & Case / Lathams?

I am so sorry to hear this Camilla but your constant improvement is so incredible! I really admire your positivity and I just know something great is in store for you!

Rejection from Bristows at final interview. Absolutely gutted, but seeing how so many people on here keep going is really nice to hear about. In the moment it feels so hopeless, its comforting to see others persevere and get there in the end.

Thank you Alice - that means a lot

Last year I remember that people who'd applied for that window were getting TC offers in November, so I think you'll hear back maybe in October?

Ah okay great, thanks for the response. It's always a bit nerve-wracking when you have no clue when the response will be!

I’m sure you’re all sick of me asking about Macfarlanes every other day on the forum but for once I bring some good news.

I just got offered a training contract!!

What a journey.

Congratulations to you!
Do you mind me asking if this was for direct TC ?

 

[Jennifer85]

I just want to say congratulations to everyone who have recently obtained a training contract and thank all of you. I have had a few days where I have felt disheartened and reading all of your posts has lifted my spirits. My fingers are crossed for all of you.
