10,000 Black Interns 2025/26 Applications

So it seems like firms will start reaching out to us from 4th of November.
How long did you guys pick for the internship? I picked 12 months, I hope it does not negatively affect me. Happy to do 3 months and very flexible.

Does anyone know if we apply seperately to each internship as well as going through 10kBI? got an email from HDRUK saying applications open and it seems we apply through the same stages.

I applied for private practice law for all three of my options since it’s the only field I’m interested in. Does anyone know how this might affect my chances? Will it just mean I could get three different law firms instead of one, or will I still only get one firm like usual?

do you mean you submitted 3 separate personal statements for private practice law or did you just do one? i think it just means you will only be matched with companies from that one field then.

Yes I submitted 3 separate personal statements for private practice law. And that makes sense! I thought I would only be considered for 1 firm as opposed to multiple

No, you can be considered for multiple, cause the minimum match is 3. But sometimes people may not get matched to 1 stream, so 2 in 1 stream, 1 in another, 0 in the last 1.
so you might be matched from 0 - the max which may be 4? if not 6.
But you will get at least 1 match.

Has anyone received any communication from their matched firms?

I just got the same email and was wondering the same thing?

I've just been matched with my first law firm, hopefully I get a few more in the coming days/weeks!

Congratulations! Did you get an email from 10k or from the firm itself?

I have been matched to 2 firms.
Neither 10k nor the firm has reached out. I knew by checking my data (something you can do if you applied years ago).
@chmpgnee can you please tell us what the email said exactly? Cause I'm wondering why they have not contacted me yet. Also I hope to get more than 2 matches.

I got the email from 10k, which is usually how it works at first. Normally the firm reaches out through 10k to let you know, and then contacts you directly for the interviews.
