It’s said in the confirmation email that although the GR team reviews applications on a rolling basis, AC invitations will be sent out nearer the deadline. :smile:

I would say about 5-8. I think the general census is no more than 10. Although the law of averages says the more you apply for, the more chance you have of success. Actually, the more applications you do, more often the standards slip and so overall, you are less successful.

Tailor the applications to each individual firm and get them in early. There are a few vacation scheme applications still open but you'll have to be quick if you're serious about obtaining one. They really are a foot in the door in order to get a TC.

Hey thank you so much for replying, but their email is exactly what is confusing me haha! It says:
"We are continuing to review applications on a rolling basis. Assessment days will be held throughout the year, with invitations for the assessment days sent nearer the deadline."
^This is why I am confused because on the one hand they are saying assessment centres will be held throughout the year i.e. there must have been some already, but they then contradict themselves saying invites are only handed out nearer the deadline. How did you read into that email sentence? As I thought assessment days must have been held since October when the apps opened as they have stated above?

My interpretation is that NRF will run their ACs around the same time with their deadlines. For non-law graduates, the deadline is March. The GR team will review applications as they come in. If you apply in November, you may hear back earlier than someone who applies in February, for example, but it won’t be too far from the deadline.

Had another look and interestingly it seems like they've changed it from the graduates can apply from Oct- March to graduates/finalists can apply on a rolling basis.

This would make me think that they're not planning to do any ACs until the summer which would be pretty annoying if you applied early.

Thank you for replying, can I ask what makes you say that? Because online it says graduates should apply between October and March so I assumed that there would be ACs throughout the year, however their email contradicts itself saying ACs are held throughout the year but invites are sent towards the deadline.
