Thought this would be helpful:
Heard back from:
A&O (rejected based on test score)
Clifford Chance (rejected post AC)
Linklaters (secured Vac scheme)
Freshfields (secured vac scheme)
Still waiting on reply:
Slaughter and May
Kirkland
This is also a clear reflection that just because it doesn’t work out with one firm, doesn’t mean that it won’t work out with others. It’s hard but try not to give up! I got two rejections prior to securing two magic circle vac schemes. You can do it!

Make sure you can answer why you are applying to Mayer Brown and your interest in commercial law. Practising strength based questions will be an advantage as well! Good luck
Has anyone had any updates from links?
The all important question that is also on my mind! Nope - applied on the deadline though
I got an email ~2 weeks ago that my application was still under review, haven't heard anything since then
Hey guys, Can anyone name 3 firms that are Mayer Brown's competitors and why? Would appreciate this greatly and will be happy to help anyone currently still in the process before AC in exchange! Thank you

Their overall competitors or competitors in a particular practice area?
edit - if overall then its: Sidley, Baker McKenzie and either MoFo or DLA Piper
hey, i did it on a friday and heard back the following monday. hope this helps and it goes well!
For anyone who is still waiting on Kirkland & Ellis, don't worry- I emailed graduate recruitment the other day. She confirmed that my application was still being considered, and that they expect to send out more outcomes within the next week or so. They've had an unprecedented number of applications, so the screening process is taking longer than usual. Anyone who is still waiting to hear back should know the outcome within the next week or two.
when did you apply and get the invite for VI? I am yet to even get VI so feel like it's doomed haha!
