Spring, applied on 22nd November if that helps

 

[Aleks Owczarska]

Thanks I applied for a direct TC to Katten back in Nov but ain’t heard back yet

I think they are non-rolling? That's how I understood what they wrote on their website

"After the closing date, applications will be assessed and a shortlist of candidates will be interviewed in March/April 2020."

Anyone heard post-AC from Reed Smith’s winter vacation scheme? (asking for a friend)

AC invite for the CMS Academy . I've applied to them unsuccessfully twice before so it definitely pays off to keep trying!

Would be grateful for any tips for the AC.

E-mailed DLA piper... said people will hear in 2 weeks... an echo of every other e-mail as stated in this thread!

That must be their automated email haha!

 

[Jay-Lo]

That must be their automated email haha!

Are you still waiting to hear from DLA too?

 

[Jessica Booker]

Is apply4law down again?

wait until the 31st... systems are always at high risk of crashing near deadline day

Hi Guys, First Post on here! Can't quite believe I have heard nothing back from NRF for their Summer Scheme- I applied in early November! Did anyone hear anything?

Hi, sorry if I wasn't clear, but my video interview was with Bird & Bird, I didn't apply to Baker McKenzie

Oh no worries! Hope all went well for the VI with Bird & Bird!

Hey guys I have a bit of a problem!

So I have an AC with Simmons on the 4th and one with Freshfields on the 6th and I've just received an AC invite for BCLP but the only two available days are the 4th and 6th and I'm not sure how I should handle the situation. I've emailed both firms but wondering if anyone has had this problem.

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure BCLP have further dates available so I wouldn't worry! I'm sure they'll be able to offer you a later date

Welcome!! I applied for Spring VS in early Dec, got through to WG but unsuccessful after that. I have it on good authority that someone who applied for a direct TC heard back well before I did so I think they do TC AC's first, then Spring VS AC's then Summer VS AC's.

HI Congrats on your AC!! Was just wondering, how long did it take for Simmons to get back to you after the VI? Thanks!!

Is it akin to networking? A firm representative would never tell you the very Q's that you will be asked in interview. Maybe more akin to going into an exam having already been handed the questions...
