Hi, how did you find the psychometric test?? I’m doing mine tomorrow! (Manchester office)
!
Thank you! Sorry for the mistake guys, I meant one year not one module. I’ve deleted the post to reduce confusion
Just to bust some myths here Bakers will not reject you if you have more than one 2:2 module or overall degree grade for more than one year.
I know this because I know someone who has an AC and got an overall 2:2 in both first and second year without any mitigating circumstances at any point in their academic history. So no matter the amount of 2:2s still apply as long as it’s a 2:1 degree.
I think the firm really places a lot of importance on cultural fit based on the CAPP assessment, I have a friend who was in the 98% percentile in the WG test when he applied for the winter VS but got rejected
Hi guys, recently been invited to complete a VI with Latham. I was wondering how long are you given to answer each question?
I'm still waiting for Reed, I contacted them earlier this week and they said they are focusing on Winter right now. Been waiting since start of November! When did you apply?
Do you know when the Winter interviews are completed? And also hope it went well!
I haven't done it yet but at the Open Day they told us it was 2 minutes per question
I sent mine around the same time and have not heard anything either!
I applied early November too! Did they happen to tell you by when we'll hear back?
I didn't know the winter vacation scheme still hadn't happened. Was under the impression it would be over Christmas break since it was targeted at graduates.
I really hope we do hear back soon. I went to their Open Day as well. Really liked the firm.
The stress games I play are exhausting haha.
Congratulations! When did you receive the invite?
It's a really hard mindset to get out of. You don't have to be supportive or happy. Just try not to be negative or focus on what they are doing. Channel that negativity into making yourself the best version of you
It does take some time and there will be moments when you feel low. The moment I stopped comparing myself to others, I started feeling more confident and happier in myself. If you want to talk I am a inbox away! This took quite a while to get through but the sooner you start the better it will be for you
Your time will come
I tried to start a conversation but it says your profile is limited so I can't! I do want to ask you further questions, so please message me
Thank you again for the words of encouragement.Yeh think they're the only firm who do theirs in Feb. They said we will get an update soon - but that might mean another email saying that they will give a response soon.
Also really like the firm! I know quite a few people didn't get passed the SJT so wondering how big the pool of applicants are, but that's never a good game to play...
Did Grad Rec say anything interesting at the Open Day?
The wait for Travers Smith is haunting me...plus I’ve got a HSF AC tomorrow and I’m stressing out my mind (I’m non law)
No it's in February - that's why they are concentrating on it.

Please don’t worry. Just be yourself and keep calm - that is the key to the HSF AC and do not waffle because you’re nervous like I did! A minor mistake but it’s all about just being measured on the day
really good luck!
Were held last week and this week - 50 people being interview for around 15 spaces.
