    Ask BCLP Anything!

    Hi Isabel, Do you have any tips or advice on how to stand out at the First Stage Interview, or common mistakes applicants may make at that point? Thank you!

    PFO from NRF today, and just found a PFO for the Skadden Open Day from yesterday, but also did a VI today so it swings in roundabouts! :)

    I think they mean the first Open Day, for which the apps have closed.

    I got cut off when applying to Gateley in early 2023 and also ended one video saying 'and um things' and still ended up with the Vac Scheme (in my defence, I was so nervous as it was my first VI and first cycle, haha). So, while not ideal, I don't think it's the end of the world!

    Thank you! I was so happy when it came through I cried, haha. Then tried to get myself a Costa, only for the Costa to be closed, so ended up at the M&S café with the biggest hot chocolate known to mankind and cream on my nose.

    Has anyone heard back from Paul, Weiss yet about their October Open Day? I saw on the forum we'll have heard back by Monday, but was just wondering if anyone had heard anything so far.

    It's really easy to rectify - if you let the firm's Grad Recruitment know they'll tell you what to do about it. I made a mistake on one of my apps and it was fine, I just had to attach an additional note to it.

    Ashurst does. Not sure about HSF or Sidley, but I think most firms tend to.

    Hi Jessica, thanks! So, do you think I should be using up the 250 words? I'm just a bit confused on how much detail they're wanting.

    @Jessica Booker For the Debevoise & Plimpton application, they ask: 'Please indicate if there are any preferred practice areas that interest you.' (250 words). Is there any chance you could clarify whether you think they're asking for a 200-250 word answer about my preferred practice areas and...

    Yes, I think so. They'll review them and decide who to move on to video interviews.

    I don't think they allow TC apps from anyone who hasn't already done their VS. At least, that's what others have said on here.
