If I haven't received an invitation to do the WG yet for Baker McKenzie can I assume that I'm getting rejected?
I wouldn't ever assume you are being rejected until the firm has actually spoken to you - I thought Taylor Wessing was sending me to the scrap heap as I hadn't heard from them in a month and then lo and behold, they emailed me saying I passed to the next stage. There are hundreds of applications they need to get through - no news is always good news as it means they are trudging through them.

It’s coming up 8 weeks since I applied to TW. I wish I could hold onto the same optimism!
I am basically in love with this firm and I do know a massive thing about them: they read every application. So no news is good news

It’s my top firm so I will keep my fingers firmly crossed!
Thank you! I applied for the summer scheme xCongrats guys! Could I ask which scheme is this for and when did you apply? Wishing you the best of luck with your test!
Hi guys! I have a question about work history and placing it in the application (Bird & Bird application). I want to note the Open Day and other B&B events I attended (Sept-Nov 2020), so do I just put these first in the chronological 'work history' section? I can't find anywhere else for them. Thanks
I would group these events as one entry in the work experience section personally! Place it first if thats the most recent entry you haveHi guys!

Agreed, this is how CC said they like it and I assume how most would!I would group these events as one entry in the work experience section personally! Place it first if thats the most recent entry you have

Congratulations!!
Was this for VS and post-video interview? I have mine next week and not sure what to expect
Me too! Do you know around what percentage of applicants get WG sent to them?
When did you both apply? Congrats!
I applied 29/11 for the Spring scheme and got the WG today as well.
Maybe if you applied for the Summer you will hear back later?
Has anyone else had an utter headache with Sidley Austin's formatting on the application? It keeps adding and deleting spaces between words on mine and it's driving me up the wall
I applied for Spring on 3/12, so hopefully shouldn't be too much longer.
