    I'm not sure if they will be holding more but some people on here have definitely already done AC's for the WVS either last week or the week before. This is a firm which recruits on a rolling basis so its possible (although I cannot say whether this is actually the case) that they have already...

    If this is for the WVS I believe they've already held their AC's

    Whilst I don't know the exact statistics on number of applications vs number of trainees in each location, I believe (from anecdotal experience) that more and more people are applying to their London vac schemes / TC's, meanwhile they recruit a very small number of trainees into London. I would...

    People who received Simmons AC invites, what date is the AC?

    Since some people here have had HSF AC invites already, are we assuming that anyone who hasn’t is PFO? Or does HSF send out invites in batches?

    Importance of modular grades (non law graduate) for VS for US/MC?

    Generally speaking a 2.1 overall does satisfy most City firm requirements, but I would think modules as low as a 31 would raise some red flags for a lot of, if not most, firms.

    Yeah that makes sense. Since they have already sent out VI invites is it then safe to assume that anyone who hasn’t got one is PFO? I thought I was safe submitting it today (6 days before the deadline) but I guess it was a waste of time

    Yeah they are rolling, but I submitted my VS application to them today and it does clearly say that whilst they review on a rolling basis, they won’t make any decisions until after the deadline. So it’s surprising to see that this is evidently not the case

    I thought they don’t make decisions until after the deadline? That’s literally what the email they sent me after I submitted my application said

    Did you get a PFO on the basis of your test or do you mean post test as in you passed the test and the PFO was on the basis of the app?

    People applying to W&C vac scheme: under the question “please give us details of careers events you have attended”, what do you speak about if you hadn’t attended any W&C specific events? Just insight days you’ve attended at other law firms? Should you link these to W&C somehow, or are they...

    Pretty sure they don’t review until after the deadline

    They are closed. The deadline for Freshfields Winter VS was early September. I believe all Magic Circle winter scheme applications have closed by now.
