Thank you, I just don't want it to be held against me for selecting the wrong one.Unless the firm is sponsoring you, I don’t think law firms really care where you do your LPC. I would suggest going for what is easiest for you!

Thanks. I am doing my GDL at Cardiff, but really like all three for different reasons so have changed my mind so many times.I cant speak for Cardiff and ULaw, but I'm currently doing my GDL at BPP and its going well so far! The careers service is really good at helping with applications and giving feedback, and they host a lot of fairs/firm events which have been useful
Does this mean two weeks from now? Thank you!I attended an event with them yesterday and they said the new closing date was an error and they have been experiencing IT issues. They said they will not be reviewing applications made after the original closing date and will get back to applicants in two weeks.
Congrats! May I ask when you completed the VI?Willkie written exercise invite!
So far I have to say this has been a pretty smooth application process (I am touching a lot of wood here)! Gemma's been on the ball, marketed the scheme extremely well and there's a slot for me to do this written exercise after work.
Now I just need a desk...
I am interested in it, but I can't work out what it's for? They don't do TCs there so is the vacation scheme just for fun lol?Btw is anyone applying to Latham Dubai? Perhaps I should start a thread
That's ok. We have all been wondering so I asked. I would say two weeks from now to save disappointment.Does this mean two weeks from now? Thank you!
Assessment centres are held in March (stated on their website) but they haven't responded to any applicants...nothing yet from Ropes

Thanks for your insight.Don’t think the firm would view a VS at another firm badly. Really just displays that you’re a great candidate and well worth their time considering for the TC.
With regards to your second question, you can always accept a TC and renege at a later date if you get a TC offer from a firm you prefer better. Not recommending you do this but it happens and there’s no real consequence unless you have accepted financial aid from the firm that you’d need to repay if you renege.
Lol 😅Congrats! May I ask when you completed the VI?
Thanks for your insight.
My concern is not so much on the reneging on the hypothetical TC offer as I am sure this happens all the times. But I wonder what happens when your VS firm asks that you not have accepted a TC offer whilst on their VS. A bridge to cross when it happens but curious what would happen given you never know what you might get a TC offer especially considering the often tight timelines for making a firm decision.
It's for the london office!Incredible!! Well done! Which office was this for? I've still got a while to wait before I even have my AC!
for sure not!If you do a VI the day of the deadline does that look bad?
Is it a video interview, or an actual live interview? Quite confused as well...Just received a video interview invite from Hill Dickinson (post WG, London).
Confused as I thought that after the test stage came the assessment centre.
They've also made me book a slot for my video interview which is unusual. Does anyone have more information about this?
Thanks!
Can you apply if you've already applied for the London VS but was rejected?Last cycle, because the VS was virtual the Dubai VS students actually sat in on a lot of the presentations and talks the London office had organised. The work they did was different, think they did live work for the Dubai office. It’d probably be beneficial for applying to the London VS in the next cycle because I’d imagine your application would be a lot stronger from all the information you get on the London office.
