Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[Bex]

I’ve just been rejected from Taylor Vinters (after the Arctic test), but they didn’t state that they were ‘unable to provide feedback due to the number of applicants’ like every other law firm I’ve been rejected from....am I justified in emailing for feedback?

Is anyone yet to hear back from White & Case application? Applied on the deadline and this one is really testing my patience hahaha

I think you still have hope. this is because I got a sharp rejection a few days later of its DL

 

[D95]

Aww I am so sorry - but don't worry! Something good will happen without the need for blowing up balloons!

I hope so! I am getting quite anxious now though, because I am still waiting from 5 different firms for the outcome of my applications... I did not apply to any Big Names because I figured out recently that actually this might not be something I want to do (strange realization to have, I think this is my mid-20s crisis talking!) but the waiting is killing me.

Rejection from Taylor Vinters post balloons blowing... I mean, post game-based assessment

Disappointing, but not surprising.

I just received that rejection as well.

I will remember in the future to inflate the balloons more and to attempt the locked door combination 1000 more times to better show my 'drive'

HSF are still sending out spring AC invites. Just got one, but I'll have to decline it. Fingers crossed for y'all!

Thanks for letting me know!!

Have you already had your AC and offer? I don’t have mitigating circumstances, but international qualifications, so assuming they might want to see a transcript at some point

Unlikely to need to see transcripts

you can email but if they are saying they can’t give you feedback, all you are going to get is another email saying they can’t give you feedback

I have PM'd you.

I am waiting to hear back from 6 also and I am in a similar position.

Fingers crossed for you and remember to keep the chin up!

Has anyone here ever gotten average scores for all but one with the Mayer Brown VRT & progressed ? I feel as though, those scores are perhaps what they look out for more than the situational judgement. So if you score a over average in all, plus have a good app..the you get through. Cause the situational judgement doesn’t really matter as you’re gonna score high in 3 things which they don’t mind as well.

Has anyone heard back from Freshfields WG? I took the test a week ago for a direct TC

Nothing yet! When I applied in the summer it took just over 2 weeks before I heard back.

 

[Andre]

Anyone been rejected by V&E?

 

[Jessica Booker]

even after an offer?

After an offer they might. But unlikely in early applications stages. Earliest tends to be brining them to assessment centres

Submitted mine in November and still haven't heard. Don't think I've seen anyone with a positive response for summer yet. Is there Winter process completed now?
