Back with another update!
I received the Goodwin VI- was super shocked but happy of course. I think the VI went well but we shall see.
Got rejected by Bakers post app and annoyed about Freshfields introducing the online tests!! 😭
Sooo should I just assume Goodwin tc rejection? Still haven’t heard post app.
Got an email update from Kirkland saying that they are still reviewing applications for the direct TC program and will be in touch in the next few weeks
did you email them first? asking cos if it was an email sent out to every direct tc applicant then i didnt get something like that haha
Ah fine. Any info on whether they are gonna predominantly hire from the vac scheme route? Asking since we’ve seen the most ACs for the vac scheme route and just one for the direct TC route. Are they really holding a scheme this time? Thanks.
Has anyone received an update from BBC yet? I am beginning to feel anxious!
No I haven't but they said mid January and it's only the 16th so until beginning of next week I would not be worried.
Just got VI invite from W&C, anyone else had one? Just want views on the deadline… is it 72 hours from receipt of email? Quite a quick turnaround.
ETA: oops, it was Summer Vac, not DTC. Ugh.

They said they prefer VSs to assess the candidate closer and that DTC process has a higher standard for applicants. It's still possible to get hired that way though
I got pfo from all the firms in the application stage. Though I have some direct TC applications pending review, I am wondering how to improve the four applications I have left to submit (and for winter VS in the worst-case scenario).
I have written about my academic interests and work experience in litigation, investigations, and corporate crime relating to the firm's reputation in these practices and available seats. I included a few lines demonstrating my interests in regulatory compliance, investment funds, and banking and finance (I studied these topics in the modules of my LLM in Banking and Finance at RG uni and worked with regulatory compliance and banking during an internship in a regtech).
How to balance the interests in contentious in the applications?
Should I strategically focus on my interests in transactional seats (banking and finance, investment funds) and forget about litigation during the application process to enhance my chances?
@Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu @Amma Usman do you have any insights? I tried to follow the application guide, but unsuccessfully.
