I wonder if it’s worthwhile contacting V&E if it gets to the end of the week?
I'm expecting/ hoping they will tell us by the end of this week. I don't think any interviews were scheduled for this week.
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst- you gave it a good shot and as cliché as it sounds, that's really all that matters at the end of the day. Rooting for you 🤞
Do they recruit through direct TCs? If yes, you could ask to be shifted on to it. If that's not possible, I'd be prepared to either give up the VS or speak to your employer about taking unpaid leave to do the VS (if there is not conflict of interest, that is).
is it true some law firms do not read some applications if they have already filled a quota?
Varies from firm to firm but some firms have policies around filling places internally before they open to external candidates. If they fill all places internally, they'll not consider external applications. Or some will not consider direct TC apps if all positions have been filled with VS candidates.
You know you’ve waited a long time to hear back from a law firm when you’re actually happy/relieved when the rejection comes through.

You guys are starting to make me wish I’d cracked a few jokes for good measure..
it’s probably best you didn’t. @Homer ‘s joke was actually funny and may have even landed.
in my case, none of them landed (SO WERE THEY EVEN JOKES?) and, combined with my lackluster interview performance, they likely came off as entirely misplaced.
Well, I few months ago I had an interview (always looking for opportunities and practice makes you better at interviews)..I did a a joke which was funny in my head (I am a terrible person)..whooo it did not land! I am still laughing tho!
VS, applied just before the deadline and did their tests but aint a match apparently

It’s not unknown, but I would say it is rare. They typically will just close applications earlier if needed.
Had Grace, Andrew and Peita. I thought all of them were genuinely interested in hearing what I had to say (even if the answer wasn’t what they were looking for) and the office was outrageous hahahaha
I had Grace, Louise Woods and Ciara Ros
Just got a response back after my HSF AC for the Summer VS - unfortunately a rejection 
However, this is just a learning process and I hope to use this experience as a building block for my future applications!! Sending positive vibes to all who are waiting to hear back 🍀
Also, a big thank you to everyone on this forum for all your support and invaluable guidance!
