I had no idea where to begin. I've looked at threads from previous years, went over my application again thoroughly and I've been learning more about the firm through their website. I prepared my question but I'm not sure about my answer at all! I'm nervous too, I'll be glad when it's over.

Has anyone received a rejection email as of yet? Anyone have any idea as to when they stop emailing successful applicants? I've applied for London.

Which centre did you go to? How was the experience? What did the previous gap year students say? And how were the other applicants? I found the whole process a wee bit daunting!

Birmingham! And daunting does not cover it i was so nervous i legitimately thought i would vomit at any given moment. the building was so huge and overwhelming it was quite off putting. overall i think it was a pretty good experience i mean my interviewers were quite nice and most of the questions werent designed to completely throw me off. there wre 4 others with me and they were all pretty nice, as were the gap year students. they gave the run down of their experience which definitely eased my nerves in regards to being so young and working in that type of environment.

so yes thats me. anyone else care to share their experience?

Ah that's alright then at least it wasn't too bad though, I wonder when they will get back to us and how many places are available? How high do you think the calibre of students is, as in the ones accepted for an interview? We're yours all from private schools? Mine was a mixture of various schools☺️

Don't want to be the bearer of bad news and I may be wrong but as far as I'm aware all the interview dates have been and gone with London being the Wednesday 4th Decemeber...
From what I remember the email said all applicants will hear whether or not they have been successful (including those invited to interview) by December 31st

They may also reply saying they are unsure as to whether they will offer you a placement as they are trying to find a place for you....how confident do you guys feel about getting an offer?
