Anyone have an idea of when we will hear back from Linklaters about their summer VS?
I am sorry ton hear that and I asked them about WG and they said no. There will other applications don't worry about it.Finally got my DLA Piper PFO after applying on 27 September and WG on 3 October. RIP me 🥲

are the DLA Piper responses being communicated via email or updated on the portal?
Others might disagree with me but i would say 4-5 hours max. Obviously for apps like Kirkland its closer to 8-12 hours because there was quite a lot of unique questions.How long do people usually spend on applications?
I usually spend around 1/2 days but I’ve been told that’s not enough time. Not quite sure as I’ve heard some people take a week perfecting an application.
congrats for being invited! when did you apply?Hi! Has anyone done/have any tips for the DLA AC? Would really appreciate it Thanks!

When I first started apps I spent 2-3 days and I actually think you risk jeopardising the quality of your app by trying to be "too perfect". I have been much much much more successful only spending 4-5 hours.
However I would caveat that by saying over probably 15+ apps I have built up a bank of well written sentences and generic answers that can always be used for "why commercial law", "when were you resilient" "what is an achievement" of yours etc. The 4-5 hours mostly goes into research the firms practice areas and USPS for why this firm and a story that will impact the firm. But even then its good to have previous answers e.g if you are applying to 2 firms with huge PE practices I have found the answers are pretty interchangeable despite what people say about tailoring applications. This is just my experience but I hope it helps!

yeah I actually think this is an important addition and something I missed. If the deadline allows I always make sure to go to the gym or sleep before I do a final read thru and submit. Helps me find way more errors.I would second that and add give yourself time to review and edit. I need at least two drafts before I'm comfortable with any app.
