    SullCrom does take grads though, I applied as a postgrad (was rejected, but they had sent me their 'maybe pile' email and let me know the outcome the day after apps closed). I think there are some firms that don't let you apply in the same cycle for a Direct TC if you have been rejected for a VS...

    I did the AC for the Winter VS and was successful, and it was really enjoyable. I know that sounds strange to say for an AC, but it really was! Pay attention to detail for the technical interview to make sure you don't miss anything. Prepare your usual commercial law areas (M&A, contracts etc)...

    International arbitration is one of their most elite practice areas (and one that they are very proud of) both globally and in London, if that is helpful to know!

    Does anyone have any idea on when we can expect to hear back from non-rolling firms that had their deadlines on the 1st/2nd/3rd of Jan? Like Kirkland, Debevoise, Milbank I don't want to keep obsessively refreshing my email if it's too early to hear back haha

    Does anyone know if Sullivan & Cromwell is rolling? I can't make out from their UK recruitment page. Also, if firms are rolling (deadlines in the first week of Jan), is it ok to sent in my applications in the coming days? Or is it weird to be applying on Boxing day xD

    Have many people been selected for ACs by Latham? I did a VI two weeks ago (starting to think I am not very good at VIs) but never heard back after

    Cleary Winter VS offer! Thanks everyone here for your help. I also wrote White & Case earlier this week to ask them if they were still giving out ACs post the VI, they wrote me back today saying they are still reviewing and they aim to notify all AC participants by the end of next week.
