Mine is online (slaughters) and as it's my only VS offer so far (and I've received several PFOs), I'm quite desperate to convert it, but the fact that it's virtual is going to make things more complicatedFor people with VS offers, do you know whether yours are happening online? Maybe we should start a thread
Please do not be too disheartened as you prepared a strong application - keep going!
like on the one hand i think that they are just sending the invites out in batches, like a few per day cause I haven't actually seen more than like 5 to 6 people getting any, you know... and like they would have sent out pfos by now if they were done with reviewing the apps and all but they haven't .... but on the other hand i'm like yeah ripI'm in the same boat, i really like this firm!!
I know all springs are online and that most summers are planned for either wayFor people with VS offers, do you know whether yours are happening online? Maybe we should start a thread
I don't think all firms expect you to finish the written exercise- I didn't in my latest AC, I only got through 4/6 of the tasks but when I got my feedback they said I did really well in the written exercise- they are normally time pressured so they test written communication skills and ability to perform under pressureIn previous ACs I found that I'am really bad at doing written exercise and often struggle to finish my write up before time's up. I think it's most likely due to lack of practice (I often panic during the test), but I can't seem to any good resource out there... How do people prepare for their AC written exercise?
I need rehab.Arrghhh the agony of not seeing a new email after refreshing my inbox every 5 secs. ISTG these days all I'm doing is looking at my inbox and reading this forum nonstop. It's become an unhealthy obsession.
30th of December!
My spring one has been confirmed as virtualFor people with VS offers, do you know whether yours are happening online? Maybe we should start a thread
Currently applying for Womble Bond Dickinson and instead of a work experience section they call it 'life experience' - and gives you options to put all sorts in. Don't think it had a grade breakdown either! Also just one quite nice question - 28th Feb deadlineFellow Grads/Slightly older applicants - what firms have people been targeting?
I’ve been trying to go for firms that don’t use apply4law (they often require grade breakdowns and mine are sh*te), but obviously some firms will lean more towards valuing professional experience?
Just putting together the straight TC strategy now and making sure the apps are going to the right places!
I’m also doing that one! It’s a nice change of pace from some of the others!Currently applying for Womble Bond Dickinson and instead of a work experience section they call it 'life experience' - and gives you options to put all sorts in.

I really like that. It's just a shame that they don't have an office in Liverpool or Manchester because I've always really enjoyed my experiences with the firm!Currently applying for Womble Bond Dickinson and instead of a work experience section they call it 'life experience' - and gives you options to put all sorts in.

Mine is a combination of both virtual and in-person. The first week will be online and the next 2 weeks will be in person hopefully.For people with VS offers, do you know whether yours are happening online? Maybe we should start a thread
Edit: I meant Summers mostly as most spring ones are ofc happening online (thanks @Celestie for pointing this out).
I haven’t and I applied in November- could be that they are getting back to spring vac scheme applicants first?Anyone not yet heard from Ropes & Gray? I applied on the deadline so that might be why!
