See I passed and I only attempted it four times! So weird that it’s different for different firmsI just received that rejection as well.
I will remember in the future to inflate the balloons more and to attempt the locked door combination 1000 more times to better show my 'drive'
Yeah it's very common for Links to ask for supporting documentation. I did the same for my AC last year and sent them all the documents I had. I guess the more you can send the better but it's a very routine thing from law-firms
guys, what do u find is the best way to prep for commercial awareness questions at interview stage?
Mental health-wise, I kinda feel like I need to do something else, other than constantly checking my emails and this thread. Any suggestions?
I find just obsessively refreshing emails and this thread works wonders for both my productivity and my mental state, personally...Mental health-wise, I kinda feel like I need to do something else, other than constantly checking my emails and this thread. Any suggestions?
I thought it was just me. I am going to get RSI in my refreshing finger soon I think

Best thing that I started doing was working on other apps and try to submit them. Worst case scenario if you get rejected, you know that you have other options so I'd recommend that.
If not that, start making plans with your friends and start getting out the house and doing stuff. You'll still check your e-mails but you'll be out and about. I'm going to restart the gym in the next few days and at least I'll be doing something as well as refreshing e-mails.
Hope you hear good news soon!
Also, if anyone wants any AC advice on the below, let me know:
Travers Smith - Summer VS
Linklaters - TC
Macfarlanes - TC
Clifford Chance - TC

Will do so, thanks for the suggestions! Fingers crossed.
Read the news and have a think about what it means for companies and investors!
Rejected from Reed Smith post research q's
(Weird that RS used to put their research questions on the apply4law application last app season and now they don't)

FYI I didn't get any offers lol. I was REJECTED by all 4 haha but I'm ready and here to give y'all some advice!
What was encouraging was I slowly built up on the feedback from each AC... hopefully the next AC will be the last one!
That is nice of you to offer share your experience and offer advice, it never ceases to amaze me how wonderful the community here is!
(Also, I am pretty sure that all the skills that you have gathered will help you to smash any upcoming ACs!
)Sorry to hear
They have a new GR team this year and have completely changed their process - e.g. now only recruiting through the VS
I saw the other responses afterwards yes! I have no idea in this case, I had met the firm (both graduate recruiters actually) and I thought my application was good - maybe they want a specific combination of strengths? I can only guess
Has anyone heard back from the following firms?
Linklaters - Direct TC
Freshfields - London Asia TC
Simmons & Simmons - Summer VS
Hogan Lovells - Direct TC
Mayer Brown - Direct TC
