ok great, i had it on Friday. Honestly, the wait is killing me....
is this for spring or summer?
nice, i assume you'll hear back from them pretty soon so fingers crossed!
Is anybody else STILL waiting for W&C to respond after a VI? I applied for WVS and assuming It's gonna be a PFO
I think it may seem like Northern offices have less competition, and it may true in some senses, but given that they generally have fewer places, the competition may end up being proportionally similar. Plus, I'm unsure how well your motivation to apply to a Northern office only to move to London would be looked at as it shows a lack of commitment on your part.
If you do end up applying, I would highlight the practice and deal focuses of the office you're applying to and find the reasons why the cities you've mentioned would be good for your career instead of highlighting your desire to move to London after/during your TC.
Has anyone else not heard anything from White & Case (since applying - no VI offer or rejection yet) and Shearman & Sterling (since submitting the application back in October) I have been tempted to email Grad Rec but don't want to come across as impatient. However it seems like most people have now heard, so just wondering if anyone else was in the same situation?
Hi, I have a question. I won couple of module prizes during my LLB. When I am filling in application forms, should I list them in the 'further information about your undergradaute degree' section and then refer to them more generally in the application questions (e.g. my academic successes demonstrate ...), or list them in the application questions themselves?
I'm in the same position with both - I emailed W&C and they said they're busy reviewing apps. With Shearman I have no idea!
I have not received anything and was a part of their first year scheme soooo... I assume it may be a PFO lol.
Nevermind, I just saw that other people haven't heard back and said the GR have not review all apps.

The extra information section in an educational section sounds like a good place to include such detail, but I have seen plenty of others put such information in elsewhere. They will often be included in "prize, awards and scholarships" questions, or people reference them particularly when the module subject aligns with their motivations for applying for the firm
I had my interview a week ago (last Monday), and am waiting to hear back but I have another WVS offer already and the deadline for signing is Friday. Idk what to do if I dont hear back tomorrow/wednesday, and it's even stickier if I do get the Shearman WVS after signing for the other one!

I would contact the firm and speak to them by explaining you need to decide on another WVS by the end of week, and therefore is there any chance they can update you ahead of then.
Is anyone still waiting to hear back from Latham for their open day on 23rd November?Hi - hope everyone is well! Was wondering if anyone had heard back from these firms yet RE *Open Days*? And if so, which ones and when? Or if you have any information about when we're likely to hear back.
