@Jessica Booker i have looked to book train tickets to an open day and the ticket prices are £200. 200 great British pounds ridiculous. I live in the UK. The email the firm sent regarding reimbursement states they’ll only reimburse up to £150. Is it best to decline my space on the open day. I have looked at flights which in itself is crazy seeing as I’m in England. Flights are £300.

I applied to King & Spalding’s in person insight day but was rejected (I applied literally on the night of the deadline so can’t complaint) - in their email they’ve invited me to their virtual one on the 16th. Do you reckon they liked my application but couldn’t offer me a place in person due to capacity, or this is a template invite they would send to most rejected applicants?
Travel outside of the UK and back in for less maybe? What's the nearest airport and how much is it to go to Paris? Is it cheaper now? Then get that quick turnover in to London and bosh.
Oh maybe fly to Cardiff, then train in to London? 👀
Congratulations! May I ask what insight evening this is for? Is this for the ACCEPT or ELEVATE conferences?
I’ve been told that my VI has been marked but GR are still deciding what to do. I took mine 2 weeks ago today.
I heard back about a week and a half after I did mine
DLA AC for London! Any insights would be really appreciated 
Cheers. Was it good news? If so how long did they give you to prepare for the AC?
I can’t do that as i need to travel the day of and it’d take too long. Thank you for the suggestion.
Is anyone still yet to receive a response from W&C, Covington or Dechert? I feel like I'm gonna expect a triple PFO ffs😭
I'm waiting from all three!!!!! so painful
They take non-law. In fairness, I don’t know the %. But I know non-law trainees there.
Pretty sure Davis Polk is the only firm to not take non-law.
And unrelated, but, if you’re a law or non-law graduate, you can only apply to Sullivan for a direct TC (not a VS). Adding this here for everyone to read because the firm really doesn’t make it obvious enough

the constant checking of emails is really doing a number on me lol
I just got an AC at DLA!!!!!! Can anyone please help with tips for the day. I am surprised it is in two weeks too lol.
Currently writing my application for Herbert Smith Freehills’ Summer Vacation Scheme and hoping to have it submitted by the end of tomorrow. I am nervous as I was so close previously and received an Assessment Centre offer. However, I had to withdraw due to health reasons but let’s see how this application goes!
The next application to complete this week after Herbert Smith will be Freshfields I reckon
Shame I cannot apply to DLA Piper yet due to being a non-law student as that would have been great! Good luck to all with their applications and well done to those with Assessment Centre offers and Vacation Scheme positions

One day.. ONE DAY we will look back and laugh at all these struggles!! The fact that we have to donate a kidney just to get considered for an open day is actually hilarious (I say this now but you should see my face whenever I get the rejection emails lmao).
I’m at work, sneaking in some uni studies and planning my next application tonight. What a life!
We must prevail!!! 🤺🤺
