    App is still 'on hold' for Links... The wait is so frustrating! Wish they'd let us know either way!

    Surprised it is taking so long after interview! I wonder what their decision making process is...

    Sorry to hear that! It is a busy time for Grad Rec, and I'm sure the team is simply weighing their options. In your case, it has been longer than the 10 or so days usually taken for an offer/rejection following interview, so perhaps give them a call. This is more direct than an email, and you...

    My interview was a week ago and I haven't heard anything!

    Has anyone who had an AC with W&C last week, for WVS, heard back? If so, how did the firm communicate the outcome? Thanks in advance!

    Haven't heard anything from Links, but I think a few WVS offers have been made to those who competed their Pathfinder scheme or Making Links Scholarship. Not sure how many offers have been made to external applicants...

    It was actually fairly relaxed and straightforward! Approx 35 mins long and very conversational. The interviewers really put me at ease, and I had the opportunity to ask questions at the end. The written exercise was 75 mins and a little daunting, but not too bad once I'd absorbed the info...

    Any thoughts on how long W&C take to get back to people after AC for WVS?

    Thank you v. much George - really insightful! After a couple of unsuccessful cycles, I am starting to get somewhere and have, thankfully, got a couple of AC's coming up! This is largely due to reviewing and absorbing many of the great tips and tricks on TCLA, so I will definitely reach out if I...

    Hey - thanks for the info. Such a shame about the WVS. Slightly off-putting that Sidley has failed to communicate the above, or even send an PFO...

    Don't give up hope on W&C! The deadline for the WVS was only last week, and most people apply in the last few days. GR is probs drowning in applications rn, and will likely continue to give out VI's and AC's over the next couple of weeks... However, I haven't heard anything at all from Sidley!

    I'd also appreciate the answers to these ques! However, I would say, having done a (sadly unsuccessful) TC interview, that recruiters don't generally ask questions on specific, black letter law. Although, if you mention something in an answer, perhaps like an IPO or a mechanism of contract...

    Hey! New member here, but a long time observer of TCLA! I have some info on this, so I thought I'd help out. I have an interview with W&C for their upcoming WVS, and when I was booking my AC slot, I was given options until the end of next week. Also, even though I couldn't book past the end of...
