I assume the shoe fits. However, I did not mean this as an egotistical statement. Something that is common in my university and many of us have voiced.
“gEt rID oF mIckEyy mOuSe degReEessss”
Jokes aside. Honestly if you see that way, then fairs. But I implore you to be considerate of different perspectives and experiences before making such a declarative.
More importantly, recognise there is no benefit to pontificating about which degree is “easier” or “useful”. We are all on the same boat trying to get to the same point.
Our differences aren’t making it harder or easier for anyone else getting to the destination we all want.

Congratulations! How many days after completing the VI did you receive the AC invite?
Didn’t say they were easier degrees or not useful. My point was regarding the over-saturation of these degrees within my law society. They take the opportunities for themselves. Then coast the rest of their degree with a wealth of experience as I rough it in law struggling to differentiate myself from every other law student.
I’m in same position and haven’t heard anything after VI
hopefully we’ll know something soon!I was just rejected from a firm where I believed my application was very strong and am feeling disappointed I wasn’t even given an interview. Is it possible for me to email asking for feedback on my application, or is this something frowned upon? Thanks!
for the linklaters skills-based online assessment (the one before the WG) do I need a camera? or is it just answering written questions and making decisions and stuff like that
No camera involved, if I remember correctly it is mainly SJ and some WG like questions at the end
For the Ashurst VS application, there is a question that asks "Can you provide an example of a recent setback you have had and how you overcame this?" Does anyone have any advice on how recent it has to be? For example, I have granted university already but could I talk about not getting into my first choice university as a setback even though it was four years ago? If that is not recent enough, what would you say is recent (i.e., 1 year, 2 years etc)?
SPB Open Day PFO..
I did my research on the firm, applied my own experiences to the same, outlined how I would benefit from the Open Day, and applied a week before the deadline, yet I get a kick in the teeth..
What would the main reasons for a rejection from Open Day be?

Hi guys, so far I have applied to pretty much all firms with winter vacation schemes and been rejected by Cleary, NRF and Ashurst so far. I am still waiting on so many, including W&C, HSF, HL, Sidley Austin and Dechert (post written exercise). I have seen so many people on here get VI's, AC's, and even offers with a lot of these firms. At the same time I am also seeing a lot of PFOs. Does this perhaps mean I'm sitting in the maybe pile of these law firms which is delaying their response?
Maybe your superiority complex comes across in your applications and that's why you are being rejected? Just a thought.

Sheer volume of applications and not enough spaces for people who meet all the criteria and have done the same.
First good news of the week my winter VS for a firm got rejected but they want to progress me to the next stage for the summer scheme. Needed this good news with apps.
Rejected for 3 open days, invited to 3 and applied for 8. I’m grateful for the success I’ve had soo far actually. Have a nice evening.
