[QUOTE="yasmars, post: 194678, member: 9431"] Update ✨ Happy New Year everyone!! 2024 has really flown by. I did not submit as many applications as I had hoped over the winter period. I also struggled writing my Milbank app so decided not to apply. I just don’t think I was that passionate about the firm and that reflected in my answers. Detailed breakdown of this cycle: [B][I]Rejections:[/I][/B] Travers Smith post app Slaughter and May post app Fieldfisher post test Taylor Wessing - didnt meet benchmark Linklaters open day HSF - didnt meet benchmark Pinsent Masons - didnt meet benchmark CC - didnt meet benchmark CMS - didn’t meet benchmark Simmons & Simmons - at capacity Are we seeing a common theme here 😅 I just don’t preform well in tests. Therefore, I’m being slightly more selective in where I apply going forward. [B][I]Successes:[/I][/B] Goodwin VI invite!! To say I am shocked would be an understatement. I never thought my background would ever be good enough for a firm like this. So to be progressed is incredibly exciting! I only have 5 days to submit the VI which is a super tight timeframe but I can do this!!!! Willkie written exercise. [B][I]Next steps [/I][/B] I am hoping to submit my Reed Smith application today. I may do a really last-minute application to Macfarlanes. I’ll most likely start drafting W&C and Mishcon next. I have 13 more apps to write. [/QUOTE]
