    Anyone know how much weighting Ashurst gives towards those weird cognify/emotify tests? Also, are they conducting interviews currently or do we have to wait until after the June deadline?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I suspect they probably do the same approach as Katten, which is to only respond to successful applications. However, Katten made this very clear. When I applied to Katten I got an automated email telling me that if I didn't hear back by X date then I must assume I was unsuccessful. MoFo didn't...

    I applied in December and never heard back. I forgot that I applied or even that the firm existed until I saw your post!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Did anyone else just never hear back from Mayer Brown after applying for a vacation scheme? I did my phone interview in late December and never heard from them again. I already chased them twice to no avail so I'm not gonna bother with them now, but curious if anyone else had the same issue?

    If I may, what time did you receive your invite? Just trying to figure out if they're sending in batches or individually - thanks!

    Are they sending WG invites one by one or at the same time? I haven't heard yet

    Thank you! I know that feeling myself, being rejected by 4 ACs and ghosted after my TI 4 months ago gets you used to that feeling. Thanks for your kind words. Best of luck with your outstanding apps and congrats on the TC offer you're sitting on!

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    The only thing that's changed is that on cvmail, the "anonymity" section of my application receipt has changed from Details Locked to Not Anonymous. No idea what that means but somebody else in this thread had the same thing

    Yeah, not trying to discourage! I think they'd have just rejected everyone off the bat if they weren't considering direct TCs this year. It's just odd that so many people are getting rejections, at such disjointed dates and times!

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I think it's hard to remember just how competitive AC stages are to get to. I've made it to roughly 4ish ACs this cycle and a handful of round 1 interviews/TIs/VIs etc, which I sadly didn't convert into an offer, but when I tell people about these AC invites they're extremely shocked. I think we...

    I haven't heard from BM at all yet but I'm starting to get the sense that they're turning down most people for direct TCs - certainly not progressing 40% to the next stage like it says on their website. I know that TCLA is a tiny fraction of the people who apply for firms, but pretty much...
