Sorry to hear! I've found 99% of the time my 'safe' options are the ones that surprise me 🤣 and I actually tend to do better with apps for firms that push me out of my comfort zone a bit more. Not a VS or TC app but last year, I applied to a local high street firm in my town as a legal assistant following on from my distinction in the law conversion - naively thinking that it was a pretty safe bet. Within a week they sent me a rejection along with a really sassy email about how they didn't like my experience and I wasn't a fit. A month later landed a paralegal role at a well known law firm in the city. I guess my point is that the universe has a funny way of working and the right thing is coming along for you!!!

This is amazing congrats!! Out of curiosity, how far away are the ACs?Mishcon ACThere are lots of slots so I imagine more of us will be hearing back too
Okay I’ll keep refreshing my emails! Do you happen to remember what the scheme dates are?Thank you
Mishcon AC! Really wasn’t expecting that!
Not yet, I was told I would hear back mid/end of March
Ooof it’s looking like 2 PFOs for me today 😭
Thank you, Jessica!
Also, sorry for bombarding you with questions, but does the timing of your AC have any effect on the outcome? I have been asked to book mine and I am feeling overwhelmed with diss work atm so I am considering booking for late March as opposed to next week.
Was just thinking the same thing... oh well, at least we tried!
Exactly! They need to put me out of my misery asap 😭
Maybe they'll do PFOs tomorrow if they're giving out ACs today?
but wishing you all the best!Yeah, I just hope the PFO batch will be sent out this evening too.
Congratulations to all who have progressed to AC. Smash it guys!

Possibly! But best of luck too 🥹Maybe they'll do PFOs tomorrow if they're giving out ACs today?
Me too! Rather than holding out and making us think there’s a chance. Hogan Lovells did that with their LiftOff programme and it just rubbed me the wrong way. But yes cheering everyone on!!
Thank you!
Earliest next week, I lowkey forgot the furthest one since I've booked it now but I believe it was late March
Good luck! As above ^^ All throughout March basically
Is anyone still waiting for Mishcon post app?
I emailed Grad Rec last Tuesday and I was told that AC invites have not been sent out for the London office as the AC dates are a little later but we should hear back within the next few weeks. Since I got this email last Tuesday, I would say that we should hopefully hear back within the next 2 weeks.
Me too, the suspense of knowing AC invites are going out and waiting for AC or PFO is the most agonising feeling ever!!!
Is it weird that I've not heard back from W&C and Latham post-AC for 4 weeks+? I have emailed grad rec and the latter didn't even respond...
