Anyone heard from harcourt after first round? I have a feeling they will have told people by now as they didn't seem to be seeing many people

My application got there on the 30th June and I haven't heard anything. When did your app get there? Is it just me or does it seem rather odd how they don't seem to be contacting successful applicants for 1st rounds at the same time?


Mine should have got there by the 29/30th. I know that some people have received a rejection via post, so I may have a letter waiting for me at home. Have you not received a letter?

It is odd, but apparently that is their policy. :s-smilie:

Good luck!

I handed it in personally, so when I say I made my application approximately ten days prior to the original 1st July deadline then that's about as precise as I can be.

I don't think it seems odd, for the reasons which I gave shortly after stating that I had received notice of an interview: it seems that St Ives have a policy of not collating all applications and then sifting them en masse.

If you read their app form: "You will see that the closing date for applications is 1st July 2015. The assessment process will take place during June and July." So, if their assessment process begins prior to the deadline I think we can assume that they don't sift the "traditional" way. Then again, you know what assume did...

Just managed to book second round on Gateway for 4 Breams, but Gateway then reverted to saying First Interview with the second round date confirmed.

Have called Gateway administrators and they said 4 Breams just haven't un-ticked a box from 1st round, but second rounds are confirmed. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else's Gateway looks really odd.


Are 2nd rounds i/v on the 25th July? my phone is being less than helpful at present and wont show me the slot bookings.

Hihi, yes I think it is safe to assume that they don't sift in the traditional way. :smile:

I'm still waiting. They said they'd be in touch in the next couple of days so I think we have until mid-week.

Yes, it gave me three different time slots but all on 25th.

Anyone else have a bad feeling about 1 Pump Court? I know they usually leave things pretty late, but it's now just over only 3 weeks until offer day.

Thanks for your responses! No I haven't had a letter or a phone call yet, but I'm sure my letter will come soon enough... And yeah no doubt all chambers sift slightly differently, I was just under the assumption that most, if not all, chambers would contact everyone who is successful at once. Good luck to the both of you!

There's something brutal about receiving a rejection letter in an envelope that you addressed yourself. I say that with (not-so) fond memories of last year.

How did the rejection come through?

I'm desperate for any news and would be grateful for any info!


Now wondering if I made a mistake - v sorry if I have 😁 One friend said they'd had a rejection following first round but then another said they hadn't had a response from their application at all. I have a feeling the rejection was Pump Court but maybe not 1 Pump Court? How many Pump Courts are there?!

Has anyone heard anything from:

Farrars
2KBW

Have missed lots in the last few days - apologies if this has already been mentioned.

I called them today and the lady who picked up the phone just said to keep on checking the website. Quite frankly utterly unhelpful. Was not even willing to provide a timeline or any indication on when we might hear back. I got the impression that they still haven't notified anyone though if that's any helpful. She also asked me if I called earlier in the morning so I'm assuming several people have already called regarding this.

I've heard the set are in quite difficult financial trouble... That they've extended overdrafts etc. May be another Tooks.

I'm sorry to hear that and hope it isn't so. It's a dream set for me.

Hi guys! I know I posted this only a little while ago, but I'm slightly paranoid I've missed an email - has anyone heard back from Lincoln House regarding when the second rounds are going to be? I'm probably being paranoid but it's been a week since we had to send in conflicts so now I'm convinced I've either deleted it or they didn't get my email 😖

Hi. No worries. I am also paranoid and also have not heard from them back. So, I can just assume that both of us could not miss an email.
