Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leke" data-source="post: 5074" data-attributes="member: 203">Hey Naomi and Gricole,I have been. It is very chilled to be honest.You start with an introduction to Skadden. They tell you about their underdog start, their competition with whiteshoe firms, and all the remaining fascinating info you may have discovered or not.After this you have a Q&A sesh. I expect Aidan Connor from Grad Rec to have asked you to prep a list of questions that you should send to him. He collates the questions he gets and from them selects the ones he puts to the panel in the opening sesh of the Q&A. After the first Q&A sesh he opens the floor for other questions from you guys. That's basically it.After the Q&A sesh you are then taken to another room where you get to meet with the Panel and other peeps from Skadden (while snacking). That is basically it.To be fair I will say that it is nothing to be stressed about. They are really chilled at Skadden and everyone who attends the open day is really keen so you will probs just need to listen into conversations, ask your questions and ask follow up questions from other peoples qs.One tactic I used was to note statements made by people I spoke to that I could then feed into my app. This got me an AC at Skadden for their VC (even though I had a 2:2 in contract law, had no commercial experience other than blogging at Market Mogul, went to Exeter (not that Exeter is bad just wanted to say this so you could know there was nothing too stellar about my Uni if you get what I mean) and they were 1300 apps that year for 80 AC spots). Prep for the open day as much as possible, take on advice and have meaningful conversations.Expect to meet many stellar kids and peeps from stellar schools. One guy at the open day spoke +/- 5 languages and went to Kings. Do not start to feel less confident if you know what I mean.Here is what I said to Gricole earlier about applying: ***I will say that you try to apply for Skadden's December open day. It is pretty easy to apply to and I do not even think I applied for anything to be honest. I just emailed grad rec asking if I they were running it and told them I will like to attend if possible. They got back to me pretty promptly and I had a place on an open day with no application I think!***On getting a spot [USER=822]@Naomi[/USER]:I literally just sent an email to grad rec telling them about my interest and asking them if I could come visit/if they had an app process for the open day or something along that lines.</blockquote>
