    I didn’t apply to OC or know much about them at all, but if it gives you any extra info at all, someone from my university was offered a summer vacation scheme there yesterday :)

    To be fair; the emails don’t show up on my portal as any correspondence either and I’m sure everyone else is the same. Most likely scenario is that they just simply forgot to add you to the update list.

    Reed smith are really taking the biscuit now! Another holding email when the first AC is on Monday? How does that make any sense…

    What are you guys' thoughts on using all of the word limit for application questions? I understand that CC outlined that one of the biggest reasons for rejection was not using the whole word limit but how much is enough/not enough? Striving to use 100% of the word limit is slowly killing me...

    Ditto. Hahaha, no; it's just a provider of the tests that PWC and other firms use. They create games based assessments.

    Just thought I'd do a quick headcount. Green Tick = SUMMER AC Friendly = SPRING AC

    Why would they do that though? Doesn't make any sense to me. You could say that theyre doing it to ensure that they fill all AC slots in case someone drops out but they fill way more ACs than they have VAcs available anyway so it doesn't make sense to not reject.

    It's just so peculiar that the AC's start in a few days and no-one on the forum appears to have gained a summer one... If a single person just said, 'Summer AC!' then I would know it was a PFO; but, that hasn't happened. Maybe we've just all been incredibly unlucky and no-one here has got one!

    What are you struggling with the most right now?

    Yes, not as a 'leaderboard' ranking those who have gained the most offers by any means! Just simply an anonymous page e.g. 'Linklaters - Spring AC's secured : 12, Summer AC's secured : 0' and the counter would obviously rise with every comment that someone has chosen to publicly celebrate their...

    Keep us updated! I kinda have a feeling we will hear back this evening. Let's hope that there are separate spaces for spring/summer as @elizabeth_98 's portal only showed 5 slots left!

    Well then, I'm genuinely expecting a PFO 😁 Although, no one on the forum seems to have gained a summer place which is fascinating to me.

    I'll copy and paste my post on the Reed Smith interview forum page to perhaps give some optimism: No one has heard anything regarding summer ACs on the forum from what I can gather; myself included. I’ve either been PFOd or they just genuinely haven’t given out summer spaces yet. Time will...

    I was confused about this too but @Jessica Booker cleared it up in an earlier post; '20th percentile would mean 80% of people you are being benchmarked against have done better than you. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you are being benchmarked against other candidates though - sometimes firms...

    What are you struggling with the most right now?

    Hi Jaysen, Thanks for creating such a beautiful space for such a niche demographic. The support and attention to detail is unmatched - But I'm sure you know that already! I have an idea thats more geared towards the actual functionality of the site which I think would really help people. As...

    No one has heard anything regarding summer ACs on the forum from what I can gather; myself included. I’ve either been PFOd or they just genuinely haven’t given out summer spaces yet. Time will tell as they promised us that we’d find out by the end of this week. Whilst this is only creating...

    Very interesting. Did you not have half of the dates greyed out or were they all available for you to choose?

    Is this for spring or summer? I’m starting to get really hopeless with all my summer applications. Haven’t heard a peep from Links, W&C, and RS haven’t since the holding email on Friday. I don’t wanna sound like I’m whining… but I am.
