more rejections than waiting for a response, I'm getting shook

 

[Prep999]

Have firms ghosted anyone? I applied in December for a VS and the firm has moved on to the VI stage but I still haven't heard a pfo post my application despite sending emails for an update :/ do firms communicate rejections after the entire process is completed?

Yup, feels that way for me too.
I haven’t heard anything from GDC or W&C

Yeah I applied to RPC and got an email in jan that they were still reviewing apps and would get in touch by end of feb. Have seen people getting VS offers on here and I haven't even been told about the WG 🤣

 

[lolamcd1]

Anyone heard anything from farrer since submitting their application?

Similar thing for me and CMS - seen some many AC and academy offers and not yet been invited to the WG.

From what I’ve seen from last year with regards to RS, they sent out invites in stages, and some people got “holding” emails.

don’t lose hope if you haven’t got a firm PFO - no news is good news! 🥰

Love the optimism, this has cheered me up! 🥰

Same thing for me with Addleshaw Goddard.

I think we should hear back next week (purely based on what I saw on last year's forum)

i have a tc interview (yay😁)! but one of the weeks the firm is interviewing clashes with my lpc exams - is it okay if i email the firm back and ask if it is at all possible to be put on the first week before my big exams? thanks - never done this before so bit nervous

 

[Sarah T]

I haven't had anything for RS - not sure if:
(1) a PFO is incoming or
(2) if they are working in alphabetical order I'm always last or
(3) if I am in a hold pool

I am glad that this forum at least stops me from updating my emails every minute.

You can certainly ask - however the firm may not have alternative dates available. I had the same thing happen last year 3 ACs in the 2 weeks with a huge number of LPC exams! It’s doable - but definitely tough.

same with BCLP. I did their test in mid November and while people have been getting ACs I still havent heard back. Just got an email yesterday that they are still going through applications lol
