I didn't get this mass email from Mayer Brown. I did a phone interview with MB in december and have heard nothing at all, have chased up twice. I think they've genuinely just forgotten about my application. Quite frustrating!

    Yeah, that is strange! I did the AC for DLA too - I thought I heard them mention that they weren't doing the full three weeks if it's virtual (or maybe that they didn't do three weeks last year?). From what I understood, the first week of their scheme is more of a social/networking week, with teambuilding exercises in & around London.
    Yes - if it's virtual it might be one week online like last year but they're planning it to be in person. The first week is a presentation week where everyone from across the UK offices comes to London. It's just so frustrating that I had to turn down another vac scheme for it :( But I am on the reserve list!

    Mayer Brown tended to ghost people even in pre-covid times. :(
    Yeah, I saw someone on here who did their TI same day as me. Emailed them in mid january to chase and never heard back. It's pretty annoying after investing all that time into the application process, but there's nothing I can do about it and ghosting is commonplace in this game sadly
