Amazing, congratulations! When did you apply?

Thank you! I applied on the 13/01

 

[E.A]

(just pitching in) I'd say you can negate that by just picking a story you know will be relevant to the firm and their work ? not sure though

Yeah totally, I've thought that too. Just another one to bear in mind I guess when picking stories

Just finished my VI for Addleshaw Goddard London. I think it went ok considering it was my first! How long do they generally take to respond?

AG got back to me exactly a week after the VI 👍

Thank you! I applied on the 13/01

Many congratulations! Mind if I ask if they only called you or did they send you an email as well?

Ropes & Gray AC invite !!!!!

Has anyone heard back from Reed Smith Post-AC? Not expecting a positive outcome as the strength-based questions part of the interview went terribly but would be good to know when they roughly they get back to people!

They're waiting until all AC's have been finished I believe, which is next Friday

Has anyone heard from Ashurst?

I completed the Mayer Brown tests on 15 Jan 2021. Still haven't been invited for a telephone interview. Should I just assume it's a PFO? Anybody else still waiting for a TI invite?

I completed mine on Monday for Manchester and haven't had a response yet. But I know two others who completed it the same day and were invited to an AC (next Tuesday) a couple of days after submitting.

Is anyone else checking TCLA as much as they do their emails? It is a proper routine now - emails, TCLA, emails, TCLA lol

 

[iamJW]

Many congratulations! Mind if I ask if they only called you or did they send you an email as well?

Thank you! On top of the phone call this morning, I also received an email confirming the date and time and my interviewer. Hope this helps

I'm in the same position, it's not looking too promising

I completed my tests end of December and am still waiting! It may be a PFO but I think someone mentioned earlier that they did say they were swamped with apps atm!

I still haven't heard post-app for the Manc office - I'm telling myself they could be doing it in batches but I imagine the PFO is coming!

Finally some amazing news! Just got off the phone with Travers Smith GR Team and I have been invited for an Interview for the Summer VS 🥳🥳

Amazing - did they call to say? i thought they usually email?

 

[Celestie]

Still not heard from W&C... please just put me out of my misery istg

 

[xht]

Still not heard from W&C... please just put me out of my misery istg

honestly, with all their rejections being sent out it's probably a good thing not to hear anything lol

 

[AAA_a]

Still not heard from W&C... please just put me out of my misery istg

Is this summer vs? I think no one has heard from them for summer?

 

[ilovetheDLR]

If I applied to Mayer Brown on deadline day and haven't heard anything, is it safe to assume PFO?

I submitted my VI for addleshaw london 3 weeks ago now after a technical error. People who have submitted same time as me seem to have had a reply so far. Do you think I should email or just wait it out? I’m concerned my VI might have been lost
