Debevoise & Plimpton Open Day/Interview
Thanks so much Jaysen, that's great! Sounds like it varies depending on the interviewer. The style seems quite similar to other US law firms though which place more emphasis on individual personality. Looks like I've got my work cut out for me!- Selina

Debevoise & Plimpton Open Day/Interview
Hi all! Does anyone have any experience with a Debevoise Open Day/AC, especially the interview component? I can't seem to find much about the assessment process online and the website/Grad Rec are strangely under the radar as well. This what the email containing my invitation says: "The...- Selina

I agree with everyone's responses to this so far. First of all, don't worry - you're not the only one! For me, commuting in and out of London every day means that I get home pretty late and am exhausted when I do. I've dedicated my weekends instead to applications - although I can't send off as...- Selina

Congratulations!!! I heard back from them today too and was so shocked that I nearly forgot to get off the train at my station! Already very nervous since it's my first AC ever but maybe I'll see you there - meeting a friendly face would help haha :)- Selina

To anyone thinking of applying to Mayer Brown - at the Open Day today, Grad Rec said that they consider applications right up to the deadline even though they recruit on a rolling basis! I.e. it's not too late to apply :)- Selina

Which law firms recruit on a rolling basis? 2018-2019
FYI @Jaysen - I attended an Open Day at Mayer Brown today and Grad Rec confirmed that they do recruit on a rolling basis for Vacation Schemes. However, for Training Contracts, they only look at the applications after they've allocated the TC-via-VS places and see how many places are left over...- Selina

Ah I applied just before the deadline but haven't heard back yet - they've been pretty speedy! Interesting that it's only 2 questions for a 15-20 minute interview... how long do they ask you to speak for for each question?- Selina

Motivation and Deadlines Approaching
It's a relief to know that I'm not the only one who's been finding it difficult! I have always found juggling both uni work and writing quality applications a struggle - in the end, I chose to focus on my studies in final year as I reasoned that you only have one chance at your degree whereas...- Selina

Hi @Chido - I applied pretty much on the deadline (very irresponsible, 10/10 would not recommend) but I found their email in my Junk folder. My friend applied a month before me though and she didn't receive an email at all, she had to log in to the Apply4Law portal - so make sure you do this!- Selina

Application Reviews & New Features
Hi @Jaysen! Just a quick question about trophy points: are they allocated automatically? I believe I've introduced myself in the Welcome Lounge but I don't think this has been reflected in my point score! Thank you in advance!- Selina

Thank you all! I've sent back an email to clarify what they mean. Although if I do have to reapply I'm not sure how different my answers will be - hopefully this doesn't put me at a disadvantage in comparison to new applications for the S/S schemes.- Selina

Just received this from Shearman: "Thank you for your application to Shearman & Sterling LLP. We have now filled our limited vacation scheme places. Therefore, we will not be progressing with your application for our Winter Vacation Scheme. We understand this will come as a disappointment...- Selina

Winter Vacation Scheme 2018 Thread
Am similarly still waiting on Shearman! Not too surprised though - according to TCLA's interview experiences, it seems that they're famously late on getting back to applicants! Apparently with short notices for the interview too.- Selina

Not sure if this is still relevant since it's been mentioned already but Shearman & Sterling's non-rolling basis can be confirmed in their Application Workshop video here: facebook.com/ShearmanandSterlingUKGraduates/videos/949588078564599. They also confirmed this at a recent Open Day I...- Selina
