That’s my issue. I already study for the GDL, part-time, so won’t finish until summer 2021. They would take over the payment, so I’m not sure what the right thing is in the situation.

then ask to transfer to a TC application. Be prepared for them to say no, or for you to still not get a decision from you first choice before you need to decide though.
I just spoke with my rare contact and feel a bit better. They are such an incredibly supportive organisation - if anyone might be eligible for their programmes and help then I really cannot recommend them enough.
I also had a pretty horrendous experience interviewing there, so their interviewers asking that question doesn't surprise me at all. Of course, the experience I had was partly down to lack of preparation on my part for some pretty unusual (and completely unexpected) questions, but it's by far the most alienated and uncomfortable I've ever felt in an interview in my life. The subsequent rejection email I received was expected and, to top it all off, they don't offer any feedback to applicants interviewing. Shambles.
Note that the above is my own personal experience and I imagine other interviewees have had much more pleasant experiences interviewing there. Since that JD interview, I have had other interviews and ACs, and secured a spring vacation scheme earlier this month.
Ultimately, you may leave an interview feeling worthless and inadequate for this career, but the key is to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and prepare yourself the best you can for the next opportunity.
I submitted mine early this week and haven’t heard anything, this is for the summer VS
I heard around a week ago and I have my phone interview today - but I did submit my application fairly early and I know they just go through them in order so I assume they will tell you soon!
)Yeah same! Thanks anyway, hopefully we will hear back soon.
This is the last app I am waiting to hear back from, considering all the rest were rejections, I am not too optimistic but I'd like to know for sure so I can stop thinking about it!Think quite a few are still waiting for an update, I currently am
I’m in the same position- had a surprisingly good WG too so the wait is v irritating!
Hey, I was the one who posted this, I applied for a direct TC, so perhaps that's why.
How was the assessment centre? I have mine next week. Hope you get good news
Has anyone else still not heard from DLA Piper? My portal hasn't been updated since the 2nd November
