I haven't received any confirmation that I applied to CC... is this normal?

Hi all,

Has anyone heard from Allen & Overy 2024 TC (post passing the test) or Weil Spring VS (post-application)?

 

[LongSufferingLawGrad]

A&O Direct TC offer!🤩 SO thankful to everyone on here for your consistent support over the past year. Literally couldn’t be more grateful, what an amazing forum ❤️

You must be feeling over the moon!

Very well deserved, I'm sure, and a huge congratulations!

I got a confirmation email just after I submitted! Maybe check junk

Is there a way to email grad rec for a firm to ask for an update on when they may be communicating decisions without looking pushy/prejudicing my application?

Detail what you have applied to and state your full name clearly, and just ask (with a please) if they could provide an update or timescale as to when you will hear back. No need to put anything much more than that, unless you are sat on other offers that would stop you from taking up the position if they were to progress your application. If this is the case, just reference you have recently received an offer and before you accept you are keen to understand the status of this application.

Congratulations!

PFO received today from DLA

Does anyone have any tips for a first stage graduate recruitment interview with BCLP?

Congrats! When did you submit your test?

 

[SLKEJRWOI97]

On my Clifford Chance portal it says updated today and I submitted over a week ago. Is this a good sign or not? I’m worried I’ve been rejected already

Hey!

Same here. My app says it was "last updated" on 18/11/2021. I submitted 10/11/2021. No WG test invite received but I passed it in a previous cycle so I'm hoping for a straightforward reject/accept email.

From past experience, "last updated" may mean:

• application has been opened by CC
• application has been reviewed/read by CC
• application has been reviewed and a decision has been made by CC
• application has been sifted into a different pile (for whatever reason) by CC

Either way, "last updated" means an action has been taken by CC (unless you updated your app). Opening your app doesn't change the "last updated" status.

I only applied on Wednesday and my app updated today. Let’s hope they don’t leave me hanging for ages, which is what I suspect will happen anyway 🤣

I submitted it 2 days ago and it says last updated today so don't know what this means.

A&O Summer VS Offer!

Can I just say that I love how A&O are sending out offers today and no rejections today I literally love this about them.

 

[S87]

I submitted it 2 days ago and it says last updated today so don't know what this means.

It means all the things above but their website states that a WG will be automatically sent after two days..so probably we will all receive a WG on Monday/Tuesday and if we pass it they will review our apps.

For 2023, WG is not automatic, they read your app first

 

[S87]

Ah ok..than you for clarifying

 

[M777]

What is CC's timescale for applications? When do they expect to send out WGs and ACs?

 

[Shaz]

For the 2023 CC TC, they also said WG's will be sent on/before the 20 December.
