Hey guys, I sent in my Simmons VI about 2 weeks ago (including all the bank holidays) and haven’t heard back. I was wondering if anyone who submitted it around the same time has heard back from them?

Has anyone applied to the summer vacation scheme at Baker McKenzie and did not receive an invite to complete their WG? I submitted my application 2 weeks ago

Don't worry I'm pretty sure that's normal as they only invite people whose applications they have reviewed to do the test

Rejected from Hogan Lovells post-WG

"We have carefully reviewed your application and test score. We regret to inform you that we are unable to continue with your application on this occasion. Due to the volume of applications, we are unable to provide any more specific feedback at this stage in the process."

Sounds like they pre-screen then view score and application holistically.

Thanks Hayaam. I thought I was going mad.

Yeah, I had to begin a whole new application using a separate email address. There seem to be a few technical issues with the form!

Sorry to hear Ricky, I'm sure that TC is around the corner

Has anyone done a video interview for Kennedys? Not too sure what to expect!

Is anyone still waiting to hear back from Dentons following the WG test? If so, when did you submit your WG?

Aww Ricky Sorry, I am sure you'll smash through and get yourself a TC soon!

I got the same email! I'm gutted as I got a similar email last year saying they didn't have space to interview me so apply early next cycle - so that's what I did this time round (applied early October).

I also know someone who applied 10 days after me but got invited to the WG etc earlier and then got an AC invite in November. So not sure whether it is down to the rolling basis or not.

Hey, just got the same! I was wondering if you changed your application/VI at all when applying again this year? Also, how was your feedback (if you received any)?

Hope all your other applications are going a bit better though!

I have an upcoming AC for Clifford Chance and I wondered if anyone had any advice? Particularly for the case study - I have been reading speculation online that the case study is going to be different from previous years. Would anyone be able to provide any insight on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated
