    Have my HSF AC this Tuesday and I think the thing I’m most nervous about is knowing your probably going to say something incorrect/be challenged by the interviewer. Anyone have any tips on how to respond if you don’t know have the specific legal knowledge they’re questioning you on? Is there a...

    I didn’t really, I refreshed a few stats to be more current but the rest I kept the same and managed to get past the app stage again if that’s reassuring!

    No they’re not- I was surprised too! Not sure why firms haven’t kept a mixture considering the push for accessibility and diversity.

    I had the offer on Thursday and Monday was my only free slot as well but I managed to grab a slot for the 9th when someone dropped out- otherwise it was such a quick turnaround to get a train and accommodation! (As well as preparing for the interview itself!)

    Sorry for the slow reply- I had the WG invite on 01/10 and I think I completed it on 05/10. So it took a couple of weeks for a VI offer.

    They told me they send them out every Friday to whoever applied to week before! (Because I applied late on Friday and waited a full week before being sent one!)

    Feeling so disheartened after the rejection from Hogans... I didn’t get through application last year either but I thought I’d improved massively and was in the 91st percentile in the test, so it’s really frustrating! Onwards and upwards I guess!

    Allen & Overy (Summer) Vacation Scheme

    I applied right at the end of August, so really early in and only just received a rejection today. Not sure if that meant it was considered but weird to have a rejection on a weekend!

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    An application I'm completing asks "Is there anything else you would like to add in support of your application?", but I have already filled out my work experience and a whole section that asked for a description of my other activites and achievements. Any ideas about the types of things they're...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I was wondering if people think the approach to "Why do you want to be a lawyer?" and "Why do you think you'll be a good lawyer?" should be different? I am currently trying to answer the first but I'm not sure if I should be spending more time saying why I want a career in law (e.g. variety...

    For people who haven’t heard back from AG I would recommend logging in to the application portal because that’s where I found out that I’d been rejected. They never emailed me for some reason!
