not assuming that yet personally, they don't necessarily send out all ACs at once

@Jessica Booker do the same rules apply for accepting a VS offer then reneging on it at a later date in the Scottish system? I've got an offer I'd like to accept but also waiting to hear back from some other firms before making a final decision, so just wanted to ask before I sign anything!
When did you do your vi? I did mine last Wednesday and she told me that I will know the outcome at the end of this week or early early beginning of next week... So if you're within that timeframe, don't assume PFO just yet!
:0 what happens to people on vac schemes?! do they not have the chance to get an interview for a tc?!
NRF AC!
@Andrei Radu Could you link again the insights to the NRF ac pls? i remember seeing a post about it over the last day or so but can't seem to find it.
if anyone else has any insights, that would be greatly appreciated!
for reference - completed VI on tuesday, received invite today at 2.15pm

Attended Wombles info session
They say that they focus on strength-based questions, not looking for legal geniuses. E.g., "how would you cope with a client who complained?", etc.
They never look at exam grades.
Essentially:
1. you apply: no distinguishing data such as grades, are taken, which is intended to maximise diverse candidates.
2. you do the blended assessment (SJT, verbal + numerical reasoning). This is pass/fail, but they didn't disclose the required scores. They said you can take as long as you like, multiple sittings. and it doesn't affect things at all.
3. you go on to 15-minute telephone interview + virtual assessment centre, then VS with final interview
They might offer earlier TC dates than the standard 2 years but it's unlikely. They will sponsor overseas candidates.

Hi guys, does anybody have experience/advice in completing the Assessment Centre for Linklaters' Vacation Scheme that they would be willing to share?
I have experience at AO Shearman, CMS, Reed Smith, and Dechert that I would be happy to give in return.
Thanks.

Thank you so much! This is so so helpful as I was working and did not get time to dial in to the call
Hi everyone just got a Travers virtual interview! Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Hey congrats! When did you apply and did they call you to let you know?
Thanks much appreciated! I applied on the day of the deadline and I did get a call.
