[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 186036, member: 36738"] Hey hey [USER=21329]@Samridhi Jain[/USER] 🥳 It sounds like you’ve already made good progress with researching firms and drafting your applications. You're still early into the application cycle, so don't worry just yet. Depending on the type of opportunities you're aiming for, though, it might be worth sending those applications out soon, especially for any winter vacation schemes, as those deadlines are coming up quickly. Spring and summer scheme deadlines are still several weeks away, so you have a bit more time for those. One thing that might help is keeping an eye on which firms are accepting applications on a rolling basis versus non-rolling. For rolling applications, I've always tried my best to submit early, as I know some firms start offering AC spots before the deadline. For non-rolling ones, you’ve got more flexibility as long as the applications are strong when you send them. Regardless, the most important thing is making sure your applications are in the best shape possible. So if it feels overwhelming, it might be worth getting a couple of applications done well, rather than rushing too many. Also, don't forget to set aside time to practise for the Watson Glaser tests, pacing yourself with those can help ease the pressure too. It’s completely normal to feel a bit overwhelmed, especially given everything you're currently doing (balancing part-time work, law school, and your upcoming internship!). Just take things step by step, and you’ll get through it. Good luck, and feel free to ask any other questions on the forum. We're here to help :) [/QUOTE]
