So sorry to hear - did you just get the email?

Harbottle rejection post-interview just received, in case anyone still waiting to hear.

Also, is it the norm not to give feedback after an in-person interview?

Hi all,

Has anyone heard anything back from Mayer Brown (post test), Withers (post test), Farrer & Co (post app) and HFW (post app)

Sorry to hear that did you apply quite early to them?

 

[RaniaH062002]

Anyone else heard anything from Baker McKenzie?

Not heard anything yet and am now half anticipating a double whammy from HL and BM lol

80-85% of TCs go to VSers. They have 50 Training Contracts overall...

I think thats the case for most, besides the MCs. With mid-sized intakes they do tend to recruit from the 2-3 vac schemes they do and allocate the rest to DTC.

 

[legallysoph]

brabners test invite! happy about this one as i got rejected post app for them last year

Have you heard back from them post test yet?

 

[Aspiringlawyer_]

I wonder if HL will let everyone know today or they're sending outcomes in batches. I keep refreshing my email! 😅

 

[norothrow324]

Anyone else on Baker?

Same, was really sure of my application and have experience too so shit to not even make it to the test :/ did apply on the deadline so maybe it was that but I thought it wasn’t meant to matter with them…

 

[RaniaH062002]

When did you apply if you don’t mind me asking?
