It might be they take 12 to 15 on the scheme but shortlist 6 to 8 for a post VS interview? I believe some firms with smaller intakes do that but idk for sure cos I didn’t end up applying to Winston.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I think their process after the app is WG -> AC or interview -> VS. I’m sure Orrick is the same too. https://www.allaboutlaw.co.uk/winston-strawn/application-process https://www.allaboutlaw.co.uk/orrick-herrington-sutcliffe-uk-llp/application-process- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
