Hi George, I haven’t heard anything from Milbank as well. But they’re non-rolling, so I don't think we will hear back for a couple weeks

Thank you! Have sent you a PMHey PM me, I was successful in getting a vac scheme
I cant recall when exactly, but I did the VI on a Wednesday then got the AC invite the following Tuesday
To everyone waiting for Milbank. It will take a bit of time before you hear back.
I don’t think so.
Plus, *I believe* the general rule of thumb is to spell the word out when it is one to ten. But to use numbers when it’s 11+.

that would make no sense at all. If anything writing one-hundred and sixty percent would be the worst way of writing it (although perfectly acceptable still for an application).
People need to stop fixating on thinking these non-existent things like this are issues. They aren’t.
Thank you, this is so helpful! Got through to their AC last year but heard back ~4 weeks after submitting my application and have been bugging out that it's been so much longer this round. Fingers crossed and good luck!I'm not sure but emailed grad recruitment and they said the following and I did mention that my portal was updated:
We are still in the process of interviewing for the vacation scheme and we will shortly start reviewing training contract applications. As soon as we have an update for you, we will be in touch. This is likely to be over the next few weeks.
This was Freshfields btw

Hi,Also, if anyone wants any AC advice on the below, let me know:
Travers Smith - Summer VS
Linklaters - TC
Macfarlanes - TC
Clifford Chance - TC
Hope you don't mind me sending you a PM in relation to Macfarlanes
Thanks!
I did it last summer, and although I didn't get through (based on the written exam), surprisingly found it one of the nicest assessment centres I had done.
It won't necessarily be the same, but the written exam I did was on the topic of the dying British high street. We were initially instructed to summarise three newspaper articles on it, and then to make notes to brief an associate before their meeting with a fictitious landlord client. I (quite stupidly) spent time summarising each article in turn rather than providing a general summary of all as there was a fair amount of overlap. I also wrote a lot of information very fast as wanted to get as much down as possible but was penalised for typos and they fed back that they expected a more polished document. Based on this, would strongly advise you don't compromise quality for quantity.
They also said you could bring your general knowledge into your answer so general commercial awareness should help.
Does anyone have advice for Burges Salmon or Macfarlanes AC. I'd greatly appreciate any tips/insight!
