Hi everyone, do you think it still worth applying for CMS?

Bird and Bird AC for Spring VS!

Congrats! Do you mind me asking when you completed your video interview?

If anyone has applied for a Hogan Lovells vac scheme - how long after the WG did they take to get back to you with an outcome?

They took nearly two months to reject me post-WG! I think I must have been borderline though, from what they told me.

Same Figured it would be a PFO since I didn’t get a response on that day everyone was updating their LinkedIn. I‘ve replied and asked if it’s possible to get my WG score but no response yet.

Hey, has anyone heard from CMS or Clyde & Co post VI?

I think you can ask them again! I asked for my WG score right after I completed the test, didn't get a response at first. I sent another email for the scores a week later and they got back to me fairly quick.

Also anyone here still hasn't received an offer or a rejection like me😂

Done the WG on Dec 9 and sent an email, haven't heard back

I scored 64% percentile (got 31/40)with LL WGT with an Average range in Assumptions and Argument but a High range in Inferences. Assuming it will probably be a PFO given my scores? Could anyone enlighten me on how LL WGT is factored into the whole application please? I applied for China-London TC and would this make any difference given the applicant pool?

Tbh I can never understand how Linklaters pick candidates😂But I think they put a bit more emphasis on the Capp Assessment. Also since you applied for the direct TC route they will probably take your work experience into account, different from normal VS route. It's really hard to say whether 64th percentile is sufficient haha

It’s an enigma - i would hypothesise that they simply have a pass mark for WG then select based on CAPP. I did very well still was rejected and know others same happened to. I wouldn’t worry if you are above 50th percentile tbh.

Hello, is it still worth applying to DLA Piper's Summer internship in the London office since their deadline is 30 December and they review applications on a rolling basis? I ask this because they hosted an Open Day on 14 December which really changed my mind about the firm and made me want to apply! Might I have a better shot if I apply to an office that's smaller, maybe Sheffield or Leeds rather than London?

Thank you for any responses!

I want to know this also

Does one have to ask Links for the WG report or is it automatically delivered?

You have to email them for it

does anyone know if Orrick recruits heavily from the vac scheme as opposed to direct TC?

Yes they said this at their open day and they only open TC applications if they have spaces.
