I'll copy and paste my post on the Reed Smith interview forum page to perhaps give some optimism:
No one has heard anything regarding summer ACs on the forum from what I can gather; myself included.
I’ve either been PFOd or they just genuinely haven’t given out summer spaces yet. Time will tell as they promised us that we’d find out by the end of this week.
Whilst this is only creating more and more riddles for us Summer schemers… We know that the dates for spring/summer ACs are the same.
We know that ‘If you are successful in progressing to the next stage, the dates of the case study interviews will be held in the AM and PM of the below dates.’ From the original holding email that we received
The most probable, and perhaps optimistic, guess that I can conjure up is that the slots that you see available are purely for the spring AC, which will be held in the AM, and that us summer schemers will be held in the PM, or vice versa, with entirely separate slots on the same days.
Ive come to this conclusion since it doesn’t look like you can choose between AM or PM, but please; let me know if you can!
If I am in fact correct, then call me Sherlock Holmes. If not, then I give up trying to predict the often unfathomable and mystical patterns that surround graduate recruitment, which is probably the most healthy thing for me to do at this point anyway 🥲.
But I agree, the first AC being so soon is intriguing at the very least and makes me question everything.
