Yeah the email said that, subject to committee availability, the intention was to have the outcomes regarding interviews with us by the end of this week!

Fingers-crossed for us all!

What area of law are you looking at going into?

I see, thank you for this. Getting some sort of timeline does offer a bit of reassurance as opposed to radio silence.

I’m got an interest in family law but did a recent internship in employment law and that managed to catch my eye as well.

How about you?

I'm sorry to hear that! Have you looked into the route of doing a combined masters?

I haven't heard back just yet so am super nervous. Was your email personalised or generic?

Yep i’m definitely doing masters with my bar course. I see, that’s a good sign then, the email was generic so I think they’re sending out rejections first. Goodluck, you’ve got this!
I've just heard back from Lincoln's Inn and have an interview for the scholarship for BPC on the 24.02.2024. If anyone has any idea how to prep for this please share!

How are you getting on with prep? My interview is on 4th March, I feel extremely stressed 😂 I’ve got my presentation done but I need to improve it. Running a mock presentation at university next week!

I’ve applied for mostly criminal and some family. Was a difficult decision in the end! I’m from the north east so not much to choose from in terms of staying fairly local. I have applied for a few in London but not many.

What about you?

How did your scholarship interview go?
Yeah it went as well as it could have done, I think. Definitely intimidating but certainly not as difficult as you may make it out to be :smile:
