do you guys think it is too late to apply to sidley austin or mayer brown as i have seen people getting ac's?

 

[MartineA]

SST for Kennedys TC🥳

Same here, how are you preparing

 

[User1726]

Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from HSF post interview?

have you done the AC yet? Any tips?

 

[skmx]

Is anyone still waiting post WG for DLA (London office)?

 

[tcplz]

Has anyone heard from Reed Smith re AC yet? I received two holding emails so far and am thinking it’ll be a PFO since this is exactly what they did to me last year 🥲

 

[WillF]

If a firm asks for a cover letter, and also asks as a separate question "Why X firm", should i include why that firm in the cover letter too? I feel like it would be pointless to repeat myself.

@Jessica Booker any insight would be amazing!

Has anyone gotten an AC for the Sidley Austin Summer VS? If so, when did you send in your application?

 

[Samir_O]

Literally! My portal still hasn't been updated since I submitted my WG!

 

[A92167!8]

Has anyone else's DLA portal not updated since the date they submitted? Not even after completing the WG. I did submit quite late

Yeah, I'm on a similar boat! No PFO as well.

I didn’t really prepare for it. SJTs are quite simple to complete. As long as you’re honest with your answers, you’ll be fine.

pfo from sullcrom

 

[ap28]

Burges Salmon AC invite (Bristol office)! This is my first AC so any tips would be greatly appreciated

 

[Commerciallaw]

For poeple that got to Linklaters AC - I did the work experience section but I have completely forgotten what work experiences I put down (i know very stupid of me). Does anyone know if it is possible to access it because I really do not know how 😬

 

[Vacationschemeapps]

Does linklaters send AC invites in batches or should everyone who didn't get assume PFOs?

Hey! Does anyone know if Mayer Brown VS has any questions? I've looked but the only application question I could find is the following:
"Please use this section to tell us about any academic or non academic achievements and interests not covered elsewhere in this application."

Any help is appreciated
