Yes, did you receive a feedback? You will hear about AC in about 6days.

Has anyone heard back from Dechert yet? Also if anyone has attended an assessment centre and Macfarlanes and has any tips that would be great

Hi, was just wondering - did you apply for the Spring/Summer VS for Macfarlanes? thanks!!

 

[Ryan]

When did you hear back and for what vacation scheme did you apply for?

I heard back on the 12th so only have a couple days to get it done - I applied for the summer as first choice.

 

[Ryan]

Did you get the result today?

No I have until 19th to do it

If it helps, I was also rejected and not on the reserve list, so it looks like it is a select few

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm totally confused how these open days/evenings work - so competitive !!

 

[ZH]

I just got rejected from Shoosmith’s insight evening and I am shooketh.

My reaction too (sorry!)...took a while to get over...

Me and no I've heard nothing from them yet...

I ended up getting an email from them yesterday. They must have stopped sending out the reports this year (or maybe it got caught in my email filter...)

Interesting... can I ask roughly when you submitted your application?

Nothing from Dechert and I did a post about the Macfarlanes AC last year so just search it up and I'm sure you'll find it

Sure! I submitted it on the 15th October

Hi - sightly confused, are you saying that you received an e-mail after doing the tests for Mayer Brown? Was this saying you have been successful/unsuccessful?

 

[Alice G]

Gibson Dunn first round interview received.

I am rooting for you so much @Helena, you truly deserve this!!

Hi - sightly confused, are you saying that you received an e-mail after doing the tests for Mayer Brown? Was this saying you have been successful/unsuccessful?

Hi, I received an email almost two weeks after competing the tests. In previous years they sent out a report (just like Links this year) but this year they don't (unless mine just went missing).

 

[Helena]

I am rooting for you so much @Helena, you truly deserve this!!

Thank you so much Alice, that is so kind of you. I'm going to give it my very best.
