Weird question but any tips on the waiting game after submitting applications?? Feels mentally harder than the submitting trying to analyse when I should expect a response and overthinking my responses and if there’s any typos. Know the simple answer is to not think about it but struggling with that one lol
Anyone who’s done the Goodwin interview know when we can expect to hear back?
I completed mine last week, GR mentioned we should hear back mid-February! But I know someone who has already received a rejection so no idea! Lol
Has anyone received Latham post-VI response? Other than the two AC invites on Monday?
How do I apply? It still says deadline passed on their website.
Fair enough! Do you know if the person who received a rejection after an interview, or only after their written app? Cheers
In their email they say All Hire is still fixing the system and they will email once it opens again.
Did anyone apply on the date of the deadline for V&E and receive a VI invite?
Hey - What are the questions for CRS, I am unable to access the portal to see
Has anyone received a WG from Cooley, I did receive an email about them saying that candidates who are successful would receive the WG by Thursday?
Has anyone got a reply from Shoosmiths about a possible extension?

@Jessica Booker Do law firms care about if your law degree is an honours degree? Tbh I don't actually know the difference but someone at my uni told me that we don't get an honours degree if we don't do a dissertation, and a dissertation here is optional so loads of people aren't doing one
