Last year they had first rounds around the 11th July (whichever Saturday fell around that date) and they gave quite short notice - only a week as far as I can remember.

Thanks so much for info! Any idea when fourteen's interviews were held?

Fourteen's interviews were on 23rd July (which was a Thursday) and they only sent invites out on the Tuesday before - 2 days notice!

eek! I'm trying to decide whether to cancel a holiday or not...if they do that again and the interviews are between 26th june and 2nd July I'd be in trouble....but maybe they'll be late again.
Was it just one round then?

Hello all

Has anyone out there got any tips on 9 Bedford row? I have a first round (yey!) and have been told to arrive 20 mins early to prep for a 10 min exercise.

I would be really grateful for anything

Thank you so much. Unfortunately all are in different cities, all times are AM & all Chambers state they cannot rearrange. I will try again, but it looks as if I will have to pick only one.

Oh nooo - that's such bad luck on top of really good luck and very frustrating indeed. I'm very sorry to hear it.Do try again with Chambers - you might just encounter someone who is willing to consider being more flexible.Alternatively, might there be anybody on this forum who could exchange timeslots? Or could you perhaps do two of them?I wish you the very best of luck with whichever second round interviews you choose to pursue.

Email from Essex Court - they are in final process of deciding who to invite to interviews, and will contact successful applicants this week.

I received the same e-mail. Wonder if this indicates that we made it through a sift?

Still no news from 4 SB. A friend e-mailed last week, but hasn't had a response.

That is really unfortunate, especially for second rounds (you'd think they'd try to help you out). Perhaps you can work out getting to two of them?

Thanks for the info. Is 36BR for family? I wish they would update the PG.

I applied for both - I think there are others for family. My gateway hasn't updated either, I just got the email invite direct from them.

St Johns said they were seeing one more person this week so might be end of the week I think? Don't know about 1kbw....I think they're seeing people this week too though...so a while I guess
