Linklaters 2019/20 Application

[DJMG]

Congratulations!! was this for the spring or summer scheme?

Got invited to the AC and now have to put in my work experience details. Are we only allowed to put in 3 different things in the work experience section? It's not giving me the option to put any more in which seems a bit odd considering they didn't mention there was a limit (to my knowledge at any rate)

Huge congrats!! When were the AC dates they offered you?

I applied mid November for the spring vs and have yet to hear anything, wondering if that means its a rejection

I think they're running assessment centres for spring vs, summer vs, and direct tc all at the same time

Rob’s the first person I’ve seen invited to an AC that wasn’t on the Pathfinder scheme. Links have sent out plenty of rejections weeks ago, I think we just have to be patient and wait for invites too.

I think the strategy is to be patient. Anyone who applied for a direct TC still waiting to hear back? I'm still "on hold".

Yeah I’m the same - on hold and still waiting. Although I know some have been rejected and some have had ac offers.

100% agree, we’ve just got to be patient now. I have to admit I check my emails every 15 minutes and this sub every hours and it makes me feel a little sick every time 🤪

Now the age-old question of whether still being put on "hold" is a good thing to rejoice about, or a bad thing to ponder on 🤣

Same dude! While I am in no rush to hear back, I keep waking up to emails from my faculty and I'm always slightly disappointed 🤣

Hi!

Does anyone know what WG’s percentile score is considered a good score for Linklaters? Or to put the question differently - does anyone know what score used to be the benchmark in the past?

Thanks!

I've heard of people with different scores being progressed to AC (even people who scored in the 20th percentile) and of people scoring very high (in the 90th percentile) being rejected. It seems Linklaters looks at the whole app, not just your WG score.

This is 100% true - I was in like the 95th percentile or smith for the WG last year and was rejected

Do you remember when you were rejected last year? Was is it around this time or a bit earlier ? Just wanted to get an idea of links timeline/frame.

So it somehow seems that the Capp Assessment is the key, assuming you have good grades. And with the Capp report not actually saying much, this application process is a true riddle.

Nevertheless, thanks for your answers!

I saw someone had been offered a TC on LinkedIn last week. I’m still waiting for an invite or rejection lol

As a reference, I also applied for the summer VS last year and was rejected Feb 20th! So could be a while to wait again haha

Think the TC offers that I have seen are people who were on the winter vac?

Hi All,

Did you do pathfinders? Also congratulations on getting an AC!

There was an AC for direct TC on the 14th, so there are starting to be direct TC offers as well

Thanks! I'm afraid that I don't know what pathfinders is, I didn't do it
