Finally heard back from Linklaters - AC invite!
Successful candidates will hear back at different times - post-AC for one firm, I heard back the same day, for another firm I heard back three days later. For that second firm, I know someone else who heard back the next day.

I would expect it to be staggered for most firms. Some may do blocks of offers, but considering they will have people decline the offer, they will typically need to top those offers back up once people have declined.
Thank you for your response. What about when hearing if you have made it to the AC or not? Is it staggered or do they send the AC invites at once?

Again, most likely to be staggered for the same reasons - some people won't book in for interviews/assessment centres and they will need topping up.
I'm currently filling out the Vinson & Elkins application form, for their Direct Training Contract, and one of the requirements is 60 and over in all 1st-year undergraduate modules.
I satisfy this criterion... I completed a four-year course and I have now graduated, however, in one of my final year modules, I received a rogue 59.
To me, this requirement seems as though they may place importance on 60 and above in later years if they do in the first year.
Has anyone had success progressing through to the VI stage with the firm with one anomaly of 2.2?
P.S. I scored 67 overall in my degree, so a solid 2.1, I'm just wondering whether I would be spending time on an app that may go nowhere.

Can anyone access the Baker Mckenzie London TC application form on their portal? I cant seem to find the option for the London TC.
Ah, Im confused cause on their webpage it says the application opens on 1st Feb and closes on 1st April: https://uk-graduates.bakermckenzie.com/programmes/training-contracts/
I can't find it either. If it is not on there by tomorrow I think it would be worth emailing them.

I think you can apply via this link: Baker McKenzie Job Board (cvmailuk.com) - although the vacancy isn't listed there. If it isn't there by Friday, I would contact them. I might just be they need to set it up.
