Hi - Nothing about a date is said on the website anymore, I did remember seeing 27th the online test would be sent (which is removed now). Does anyone have any idea?

Has anyone else heard back from DWF? Should I be worried if I haven’t?

Same! 2 x PFO's today! 🤣
This is what Freshfields’ email said: “You will be invited to complete the Law Online Assessment on 27 January 2025 after the application window has closed.”
I got invited for the VI last week and the deadline for mine was tonight
Received invite for Bristows VI. Any tips greatly appreciated!
Hi everyone! This is my first time posting on this forum and also my first time ever getting a VI invite!! Please could I get any tips on Bristows VI? or any tips in general on how to prepare, what kind of questions to prepare, etc.? Thank you so much and I wish everyone all the best!! <3
I read somewhere that SH recruit roughly 50% of their trainees from VS and 50% from direct TC applications. On this basis I don’t think either route will guarantee a higher rate of success. 🥲
However I am not entirely sure what the total number of applicants is from both routes. It could be they recieve more applications from VS or TC. 🤷🏾♂️
I think if you have more legal experience then apply for the direct TC, otherwise apply for the VS.
Best of luck with your application to SH!! 😄
Annual leave. Just think about conflicts in the VS firm and your current employer.
I don't think it is unethical, as your career goal is to become a solicitor. If your employer does not offer training toward this goal, you will definitely look elsewhere.

Does Baker Mckenzie offer online assessment centres? I live overseas so cannot go in person. I cannot find this information on their website
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is coping ok and getting through this cycle as best you can 💖
Just wondering if anyone, past or present, progressed with Ropes and Gray and might be able to give any pointers on the application. It’s a real favourite of mine but my grades are poor (reasons for it but still…). My USP is work experience but that isn’t presentable. How do I write an answer compelling enough to get through to next stages with naff grades? I need to work extra hard in my answer to stand out positively so would really appreciate any insight or guidance at all.
Thank you so much in advance 🙏 unfortunately I’ve not progressed beyond app really so can’t share much by way of insights but I’ll happily offer moral support in abundance! X
