I keep checking my emails even though we probably won't have an answer until the end of the weekCome on Shoosmiths
Honestly stop checking your emails. they will email Friday afternoon lol.Come on Shoosmiths
Does anyone know if they call for successful applicants or do they just email everyone outcomes?
They will most likely email. Calling is time consuming
It’s worth remembering with Shoosmiths that even if you don’t get the placement you will still be considered for their TC.
your chances of getting the TC AC are higher than the placement anyway. On their open day brochure it states:
‘ It’s possible to be unsuccessful for a placement (we only offer approx. 45 places) but successful for an assessment day for a training contract (we offer approx. 170 places on the assessment centre). Submit by 31st January 2023.’
also remember that the 45 places is spread out across ALL their regional offices, not just London.

Yes shoosmiths give out minimal places for VS. Most firms have around double their TC intake on VS, whereas Shooy seems only to take in for VS what they would for TC.
@Jessica Booker - What should you do if you just don't hear back from a law firm re the outcome after an AC (been close to 2 months). I had emailed after 4 weeks asking and they mentioned they were still be collecting feedback. Last week we arranged a call and they never phoned. I am sure it will be a rejection but would be good to have closure especially after all the time and effort invested into the whole process...

I would call them/email them again, especially given the call did not happen. You can ask for them to send confirmation via email if it is that they will not be offering you a position.
anyone heard from mischon post vi?
Hi - does anyone have any experience with Arnold & Porter (A+P / AP), be it interview experience or having attended a VS? Any advice/tips would be much appreciated
Second this. I know Orrick and Goodwin have a pretty consistent direct TC intake. Weil appears to be, for all intents and purposes, a sole recruiter from its vacation scheme despite having a direct TC option, however, if anyone has info to the contrary I'd love to be proven wrong as I'd really like to apply in the summer!
