Congratulations!! Do you mind sharing when you applied to Penningtons?
I would also like to know this!Is it ever appropriate to email graduate recruitment to ask for an update on an application?
For example, I applied to White & Case in November and am yet to hear anything from them bar a Merry Christmas email!
Hi @jajammie,Hi everyone,
Sorry I'm new here but I just completed the HSF AC and have received some questions about it. I wrote a pretty long post detailing my experience, but I'm not sure if this thread is the right place for it? Please help!
Yes, not a problem given how long it has been.Is it ever appropriate to email graduate recruitment to ask for an update on an application?
For example, I applied to White & Case in November and am yet to hear anything from them bar a Merry Christmas email!
I think this is probably going to be different for everyone depending on their circumstances, for example students will probably be focusing on finishing their degrees and getting the highest possible grades so will redirect their focus from apps to studies, those that work full time might be trying to spread them out and squeeze in completing an app wherever they can, its very personal as to what is best for your circumstances. Some people might feel like they would benefit from a break whereas others might want to carry on doing the apps despite them having a long deadline as they might loose momentum and motivation.Is it too early to start on direct TC applications from this month as VS applications are closed all from tomorrow except for Gibson, Shoosmiths and WBD.
I mean is it okay to start on direct TC applications this week that have July deadlines or is it good to take a few weeks break. I mean what is everyone else approaches for direct TC applications.
Yup they just have a load of psychometric testing after application. It's the same with Linklaters and I'm sure a few others. I actually prefer it that way as it means you can really sell yourself in an interview as its the first time you would have provided any info about yourself. Not to mention the sheer amount of time saved on applications!I've spent this evening going through the firms I didn't apply for (with deadlines for today) and compiling a list of all the various VS application questions (just to use as practice). When I got to Mayer Brown, I noticed they were not asking any questions, nor did they request for a cover letter(?) Seemed odd, but I popped in a quick application anyway. Did anyone else notice this?
Congrats! Which office did you apply?
They are not prioritising universities, they are prioritising grades. If you need high A-level grades to apply, then the vast majority of candidates are going to come from universities that also have that requirement.Does anyone know how 'white shoe' Gibson Dunn is? Has anyone from a non RG university made it past initial application? I only ask because the Legal Cheek current trainee pie-chart looks like a perfect semi-circle of oxbridge and RG graduates.
I understand that many US firms still priorities certain universities, even in the 21st century, and wanted to know whether there is any point in applying.
Congrats! Which office is this for if you don't mind?Does anyone have any advice for AG AC? got one on Monday!
Where do you find this information?Who is the Gibson Dunn Cover Letter addressed to, is it Sarah Harte?
