anyone else just received this email from Latham for spring VS application?

Thank you for your application to the vacation scheme at Latham & Watkins.

Due to the volume of applications we received we are still working through reviewing these. We are therefore hoping to provide you with a further update on the status of your application within the end of February.

Thank you in advance for your continued patience.

Should I keep my hopes up or just give up on Latham?

I have just got the SJT. Submitted my application on the deadline. I am assuming the SJT is automatic?

 

[Tclarocks123]

Is the Freshfields SJT automatic?

Congrats!!!! Didn't realise they were still giving out VIs. Do people think we will still get more information about the written exercise by the end of Jan?

Is the Freshfields SJT automatic?

I think so, just got one and the deadline was only a couple days ago so must be.
