Likewise! You're not alone!

Keep at it though, as awful as this process is, I'm sure it's worth it!

Hey all - just wondering where everyone is at application-wise?

I know a few people have found out about pupillage (congratulations to those who have) - I think, Kings, 18SJS, Zenith (and probably a few more that I've missed out).

Just wondering if the majority of places are now at stage 2 of interviews?

I am assuming its an RBS but did anyone get an interview with 9 KBW?

Hi all, I didnt apply for 5KBW but surely you won't hear until the 3rd May as thats the gateway timeline?

Not seen any posts from these.
From recollection Walnut had a late application deadline, so if I were you I'd anticipate a later response from them.

Awaiting second round interviews, all set to take place over the next three weeks.

They ask certain candidates to attend a day at court with a member of chambers before finalising their decisions. We were also told at interview that we would hear within the next week or so about the upcoming procedure in relation to this, hence why the question was asked.

Hi, as far as I'm aware most places are now at stage 2.

Congratulations to those who have found out about pupillage!

Does anyone know what happens at an assessed mini for no5?

No idea of what to expect for second round.

Ah fair enough, just going from what my friend had told me re 5KBW.

I'm awaiting a response from three sets.

Other than that, I have 2 first rounds upcoming this week and 1 second round the week after. Seems like most people are at a similar stage with things.

Yup, I’m in exactly the same position as Baxendale!

Best of luck everyone!
