yessssss congratulations!!! this is the kind of good news we like to hear on a Monday

 

[Victoria R]

Congrats! Can I ask when you submitted your application and to which office?

Sure, I applied on the deadline to the London office!

Just heard back from Dentons following my telephone interview - wasn't invited to AC unfortunately. Quite gutting as I had really prepared and I thought I performed well. They just provided some generic feedback why people don't get through to AC.

I'm sorry about that! May I ask when your telephone interview was? I completed my telephone interview last week and I just want to know when to expect to hear back

I applied to the last summer scheme at the London office. How about you?

I applied for the Manchester office for the 2021 summer scheme

Thank you so much everyone for your kind messages. Been crying for like 20 minutes. It was the quickest turn around ever - application send off mid December, interview invite mid Jan, offer today! 😭

Does not hearing from Latham mean a rejection? Or did people in previous cycles receive VI invites in batches?

I am waiting to hear from them too, and I saw some people mention that they send them in batches. Hope we hear from them soon. The wait is horrible!

hi has anyone completed the PwC tests? if so, do you have any tips

Yes I did it the other day, I would definitely recommend that you are in a space where you won't be able to be distracted as many of the 'games' are speed or memory based. I would also recommending that you do it on your phone as its much easier to complete the tasks, and you could practice by downloading a couple brain game apps as those best replicate what the assessment is like. Finally (I'm not sure if you've seen this) PwC have a small e-learning for the test which I just went over! I hope that helps a bit

Anyone not heard from Cleary Gottlieb yet? Worried I've been forgotten 😰

I've made this joke before but I'm worried I might have been forgotten too - applied February 2018...

I received a TC offer from Jones Day hours after receiving first-stage rejections from Addleshaw Goddard and SPB! My suggestion would be to apply to as many firms as is possible, without compromising quality, as there is definitely an element of random luck involved. Happy to answer any questions about the interview/VS. This forum has been very helpful, so thanks!

Huge congrats that's fantastic news! Make sure to celebrate

Woohoo!!! Absolutely delighted for you @Celestie! Make sure you have a wine or 3

How long did people wait until they heard back from Willkie either with a rejection or VI invite?

Willkie is known for being on of the fastest firms to respond. I heard back within 10 days.

Clearly they loved what they read/saw/heard! Hate to break it to you though - that means more PE...

 

[rebeccawkelly]
