Well done - is this direct TC? and when did you submit your application?Just got Ashurst AC invite - can't believe it!
No, Summer VS! I submitted my app on 30/12 and completed tests on 5/1, had no communication with them until now.Well done - is this direct TC? and when did you submit your application?
Just gonna say this quick- I got my A&O rejection today and feeling honestly gutted. Only FF left this cycle and I did the WG on a very ‘low’ day and so worried I probably haven’t met the benchmark. Not too sure what went wrong with A&O and feedback could take time so closure isn’t an imminent possibility. I will be ok but just feeling really sad that I come so close to then fall at the final hurdle every time. Genuinely don’t feel like I can take many more of these setbacks so gonna really assess my situation these next few days. That wasn’t actually as quick as I expected but thanks for your continued support everyone. I just hope one day I might have good news for you guys too
Thank you @Karin delighted to see you have another AC as well, congratulations!Hi Alice, I am really sorry to hear that. While the feedback may take time, I hope that it offers some insight into why they decided not to accept you. You have been an incredible help to me (and I am sure that many others) and your positive and reflective thoughts have helped me loads of times, so I am very sorry to hear this. Hopefully, better times are yet to come, I'll have my fingers crossed for you as you deserve it!
Sorry to hear that Alice! You are an amazing asset to this forum - and I’m sure you will hear great news soon from Freshfields. THEY WILL BE YOUR “ONE”.Just gonna say this quick- I got my A&O rejection today and feeling honestly gutted.

I really do believe good things come to those who wait and deserve it so I hope my headspace will be better as this week goes on.
Alice I truly understand your pain and sadness. And the falling at the final hurdle is something that resonates. I know full well it doesn’t help to hear that others have suffered the same fate because this is your journey. I simply want you to know that you are not alone.Just gonna say this quick- I got my A&O rejection today and feeling honestly gutted.

I would love the help regardless, could you PM me your email I’ll send it overHi I would be happy to try. Don't know how useful I would be though
They are my first choice because of their disputes, M&A and Tax strengths so I am really trying to keep the faith. Thank you @Zhang ☺️Sorry to hear that Alice! You are an amazing asset to this forum - and I’m sure you will hear great news soon from Freshfields. THEY WILL BE YOUR “ONE”.
I appreciate it Helena and I have every faith you too will triumph soon, have to keep believing it ourselves firstAlice I truly understand your pain and sadness.

Take time to be sad about it. You owe it to yourself. Try not to make any decisions yet about the future. Today is not the day.
We the TCLA community are here for you.

Hey Alice,
I am so sorry these things can really be brutal. I know exactly how you feel. But we haven’t got the choice but to keep putting one foot in front of the other. We just have to keep going. It’s going to get brutal it’s going to get tougher. But sometimes all we can do is to keep trying. I believe in you. You are a core part of this community. Your success is coming. You just have to keep going. We are honestly all on this journey together and I am positive it will come through.
Thank you both for such kind and supportive messages! It’s true that we just have to keep looking forward and developing. Where my feedback from tommy two previous ACs have been quite unhelpful and entirely conflicting with each other, I hope this one gives me clarity and genuine help to progressYou have so much to offer, Alice! Good news will come your way I’m sure of it.

I really appreciate you saying that and I couldn’t agree with you more. I will probably see what their feedback is and hope that brings me some peace of mind with the whole thing. I struggle without having closure and knowing precisely the rationale behind stuff so I imagine I shall feel better when I doIt is so brave of you to share your thoughts and be so candid about how you're feeling instead of just shying from it, which is something a lot of us are massively guilty of. Just remember your mental health and your wellbeing comes before any TC offer or a job so make sure you look after yourself x
