Has anyone heard from White & Case or Linklaters for winter vac scheme?

 

[JJP]

Much later - not until 28th October! Hope this doesn't mean all the places are gone before they even get to review the application.

Also received the reference request today! Looks like they're really going through them quickly now!

Sorry to hear this Maddie Did you get confirmation after finishing the test? Worried that I don't seem to have any confirmation of completion

No I didn’t! And I asked for my feedback report & no reply. Bit disappointed I didn’t even get a personal reply haha

Has anyone done the Simmons and Simmons online judgement test? Just looking for advice on preparing

Yes, its just Situational Judgement. It continues to be the only one i have ever failed. So no idea what the metrics are!

Yeah I completed it last night, honestly, very confusing, felt like I couldn’t choose a clear best or worst for any

The options were very similar and some were not exactly mutually exclusive so i was quite confused too

Does anyone have any experience with the White & Case video interview?

Hey congrats on getting to the VI stage! Can I ask if this was for the winter vacation scheme? And when did you apply? Thanks!

Are we supposed to get a confirmation of completing the NRF Watson Glaser?

 

[s10]

Can anybody tell me if Slaughter and May only accepts applications from first/ high 2:1 students?
I have a 2:2 in one subject both years, and fear it will lead to a straight away rejection.
Has anybody had a different experience?

 

[s10]

Nothing from Travers yet

WG for Hogan, nothing from Travers Smith yet.

Don't think so; or at least I didn't get one!

That's a relief, I was worried it wasn't submitted properly because I ran out of time reviewing my answers.

Have you had any other update following your WG?

You can always email Grad Rec if you're worried about it, but I definitely submitted mine in time and didn't get an email so I think you're all good and no, haven't had an update yet! (But only completed it yesterday)
