It's a tough situation but understandable. Try to see graduate recruitment's perspective. It whittles down their workload somewhat. They are a very popular law firm. Also, their AC doesn't change much. That's anecdotal based on my experience. I've not got their AC however. Rejection is redirection in this case.

I generally say to aim for around 1400-1600 across the four questions. One answer might be longer than another but I generally feel like you don’t want it to be much more than this amount it total as it’s going to be a lot to read.
Hogan Lovell's had this policy. Despite them saying its on a per office basis, I believe it was across global offices that offer TCs.
Recently got invited to the Mayer Brown job sim! Does anyone have any advice/ insight? Would appreciate anything! Thank you sm
Is there a space anywhere on the Reed Smith application to write about extracurriculars (/or a box for 'anything else')? Haven't located one yet and might affect what I write in my answers...
Hi, does anyone know what 77% progress means on linklaters‘ application portal, with the review having a tick on it?
I'm applying to TLT and I need guidance on how to answer these two questions:
1: What are the benefits to TLT of having a sector approach and why? (Max 250 words)
2: The legal landscape is always changing and at TLT we value lawyers who are future ready. What do you perceive to be the biggest challenges facing trainee solicitors in the next 5 years and how will you manage this? (Max 250 words)

I'd honestly appreciate a thread of some sorts about this (in case I have to do a 2nd cycle of applications) - it feels like several firms have this as a policy and don't disclose it.
Hi! I applied on the 7th and got the VI invitation on the 16th
Hi!
Has anyone done the Weil interview and willing to share insights? Happy to swap info for White & Case VI and AC, Mayer Brown job sim, Mishcon VI, Willkie VI, or Jones Day partner interview.

Travers Smith! If you get through to an interview you can never reapply - I am not sure if that's route specific though, i.e., you may be able reapply for a DTC if you interviewed for a vac scheme

I think they have to - make sure to check their early careers FAQs as that's usually where it's noted or at the very least you'll be asked to get in touch with grad rec to discuss reapplication.
I feel like I've heard enough credible stories to have a suspicion that many firms treat a subsequent application more harshly (that's not to say it's impossible to get in), even if their FAQ page states "you are free to reapply"
