Hi, I completed mine last night. I think the system is very Americanised and I accidentally selected "law school" or "JD" to enter my uni details as I did law as an undergrad. I don't think it matters too much because all my uni details, with my grade breakdown, are on my CV.

Yeah! Just figured it out. I had my university experience under "school" because when I selected law school it showed as J.D. Thank you!
Any news from Goodwin today? Or can we assume they’re done giving out offers
I would choose law school, insert your university and in the comment section add your degree name for clarity
It really unnerves me when people put the shaking hand reaction to this - are you saying assume a rejection or just empathising with their position? 😭😭
Is there anyone else who is a graduate who has applied several cycles and has rarely made it post-app, who would want to make a group chat where we support each other and share advice we have? If so, please like this and I can get a group chat made because I’m slowly losing faith 🥲
How do you know that there’s little hope? I’m just waiting on them so don’t want to have any amount of optimism!
I guess I don’t know for certain. I’m being a little pessimistic. I would still hold out and hope for the best!
Maybe I’m just a perennial optimist, but I’ve only seen a couple of people have Travers interviews on here and they’re a popular firm, so I’d expect more. Someone who had one last cycle said they heard early March too about an interview.
I wouldn’t assume at all that you’re out if you haven’t heard seeing as the vast majority also appear to still be waiting.
Ooh ok, that’s helpful to know thank you
Is there a TCLA version of this because I’d rather keep anonymous, I feel bit embarrassed about my situ and law is small world

Said this to so many people, but there’s absolutely no need to feel embarrassed. I feel year on year the competition is getting stiffer and almost everyone who applies is a strong candidate, so it’s not as if you’re doing anything wrong
How many cycles are you on and how many applications have you done if you don’t mind me asking?
Also feel free to DM me if you want any specific advice

It’s not necessarily a bad thing but showing your interests or knowledge spread across a wider range of topics is never a bad thing at the same time, so if you can use other examples I would try to where you can.

You could ask them to consider you for the direct training contract instead. I did it with Dentons last year and they were very fine with it so you might want to send an email to graduate recruitment.
How does everyone deal with rejection post AC? Especially when you thought you did relatively well on the day. Finding it so hard to be motivated that eventually I will get to where I want to be 😔

I would try to diversify what you say in a video interview to give a different perspective to your application as a whole. When it comes to a deal, if you can, it might be worth mentioning a different one just to show the level of research you have done on the firm.
