Posting here because not sure where else to post but how do we submit successful applications to the application database?

Hello.

Can one assume a PFO for those that haven't received feedback on their Cooley application? They aimed to contact applicants by 22 Feb for the WG.

Seems a bit odd that unsuccessful applicants are left in the dark, no?

They are probably still reviewing applications as it is not a rejection until it is a rejection.

I have contacted BLM via email about applications and they haven’t replied yet. Has anyone heard post-app or contacted them?

If the website says 'applications should be made between 1st January 2022 and 28th February 2022', does that include the 28th as well? Is it worth applying? asking for a friend

It will include today.

If you feel you can turn around a good quality application in such a short time frame, then yes

Hey All,

I've just posted this on LinkedIn, but you guys should hear it from me first-hand:

TCLA turns four years old today.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to every one of you. We wouldn't around if it weren't for you, and I wouldn't be able to run TCLA - something I feel very lucky to be able to do.

I'm less on the frontlines these days, but I still very much care about making a difference to each and every one of you, in whatever way I can.

The Community Managers @George Maxwell, @Jessica Booker, @AvniD and @James Carrabino regularly keep me updated on how you are getting on - I'm forever grateful for the support you provide in using this forum and being a part of our special community.

Thank you 🙏

Is anyone still waiting for a response from Mishcon and BCLP, post app and online test. If I haven‘t received a response yet is it safe to assume its most likely a PFO.

Haven't heard from BCLP or Sidley post app....

Hi everyone, if you undertake a vacation scheme at a firm that is geared towards a 2024 TC start date and you successfully convert, how likely is it that a firm will be flexible in expediting this to 2023 if this works better for you circumstantially?

I appreciate that there are no hard and fast rules regarding this but would be interested in how common it is for firms to be flexible in this sort of scenario, what to expect and how I would propose this to the firm.

Unfortunately there are too many variables to say what your chances are. Ultimately it comes down to whether they have spaces available in 2023 and that will be down to a whole load of external factors. Those factors will change over time and with each intake, so it will be a bit of pot luck as to whether those circumstances align for you or not.

BCLP VS offer 🥳

Has BCLP rejected anyone post-test yet? Had done my test 2nd December and no updates yet!
