Loving all these Open Day Invites!!!!!!!!
t
Applied last week Monday, so 7/10. Very swift reply.Sorry to hear thatwhen did you apply?
I’ve got one too. I wonder if it’s to do with location? I’m in the midlands so I imagine they want to make it easier for ppl close to the office (London) then again, it quicker for me to come in than someone else who lives in SE/SW London. But I digress.
Congrats tho! I’m making a list of questions so if you want to discuss making some it would be great
Just wondering (I’m not intending to criticise your behaviour and personality) but have you considered UK firms more? I’m just interested in understanding your strong focus on US firms!
Maybe that could be the key and you can move to US post TC? Many do it, and from looking at the way you approach the cycle, it seems you have less interest in a specific culture and practice. I only say this because the US firms you’re applying for are so different from each other. I could be wrong
BCLP first stage interview invite!!
I am SO SO over the moon after having a really tough last week. I'm weirdly looking forward to it?? I'm going to try and blow their socks off, haha!

I’ve still not heard back, chased them earlier and they said outcomes are being sent today - bit late in the day though!
Thank you! I was so happy when it came through I cried, haha. Then tried to get myself a Costa, only for the Costa to be closed, so ended up at the M&S café with the biggest hot chocolate known to mankind and cream on my nose.
Bro I’m gonna be honest, how do u get four vac schemes and not convert one. MC firms convert virtually everyone from their scheme too I thought? No hate genuinely curious.
Slaughters work experience was not assessed.
Debevoise I wasn’t a team player.
Travers I messed up written task.
Ropes & Gray written task again.
It is a beautiful and positive day on the forum today. Genuinely happy to see so many receiving positive news!!! A win is a win 🫶🏾
Feeling inspired, let’s keep up the hard work. It is going to pay off for each and every one of us. ✨🤞🏾

I know a few people who did the Slaughters one and never converted, but I think Links gave 100% of vac schemers a TC.
Damn that’s crazy bro, you’ll get something eventually tho. Just apply to easier firms or consider applying out of London. Competition can be up to 80% less. I know it’s not ideal as an oxbridge grad but u can always move to London later as an NQ. Just a thought tho
For those that applied to HSF for a vac scheme, did you apply for the winter one- they had their last headlines event today and was wondering if people feel it’s worth waiting to attend that (virtually or in person) to gain more insight and then apply (this is for next year)
Or do people just send an application straight away, without doing any virtual events with the firm?

I know someone who didn’t convert a links vac last year so not sure how accurate that is either
I sent an app without going to any of their events. Can’t help but feel if I’d had contact with them before applying it might have prevented my app from sitting in the ‘wait and see’ pile to decide on after the deadline. If you can meet them so they know you when your application comes through, I would do it.
Just make sure you go into it knowing about the firm and with a bunch of good questions.
