    Grateful to see someone in the same boat. How far did you make it to in the last cycle?

    Has anyone applied to Stephenson Harwood’s WVS and never head back, no tests whatsoever, only a confirmation of submission? When asked which scheme I would be interested in, I clicked winter, spring and summer. I’m not sure if that’s why I never heard back or if it was because I applied for a...

    I just submitted an application for Fieldfisher's Diversity Access Scheme and for the "grade/level achieved", I put 2.1 since it didn't require a module breakdown. Would this be a problem for grad rec?

    Does anyone know what’s the difference between Freshfield’s Winter and Summer Intakes for direct TC?

    I am currently working on Reed Smith’s application and was wondering for the question “Focusing on one of Reed Smith’s sectors, what current issues do you think will impact this sector? What opportunities or challenges could this present Reed Smith or our clients? (300 words)” Do I have to talk...

    Oh, that's interesting. Maybe I'll apply for the London SVS one then. I'm worried because it's an automated test, they will tell you they have filled up after you have done the test. How long do you have to complete the assessment?

    I thought so too but on their Instagram, they posted "we still have a few schemes open..." and London SVS wasn't mentioned at all.

    On their “Kickstart Your Careers” Page, it says “Applications are now closed, please register your interest below to receive updates when applications reopen.”

    If a question has a word limit of 250 words, can I get away with only mentioning two points? I originally had three points but felt like I am not able to fully expand on them without removing one.

    I was wondering whether grad rec finds it annoying if I detail a work experience to demonstrate a skill in a question when it has already been mentioned in the work experience section?

    Thank you! And many thanks to @axelbeugre as well! I just saw they posted on Instagram their Bristol VS is still open so I’m gonna email them about the London one. Worst case scenario, is it possible to do a VS in Bristol and then get a TC in London if I make it that far?

    Does anyone know if it’s too late to apply for Simmons & Simmons? I’ve seen people already receiving offers for SVS since it’s rolling. On their “Kickstart Your Career” page, it says applications are now closed, but on their “Graduate Opportunities” page, I can still access the form.

    I just did Pinsent Mason's Blended Test. Towards the end, my computer crashed a few times and so I had to close the browser. It didn't affect the VI portion. However, since they said at the beginning of the test that they record the entire process, is it worth contacting grad rec and letting...

    Stephenson Harwood VS 2023-2024

    Hi, does anyone know for the article summary question if we’re supposed to use all 600 words? The article itself is only 1200 words, 600 seems way too long for a summary.
