No news is always good news with law firms so I would wait until you receive a rejection to know whether you received it or not.

PFO today and applied so long ago it felt like I applied in 2008
Thanks!
Know any specific advice or a question bank on what Latham have asked previously on their video interviews?
Has anyone applied to HL Lift Off and heard back yet?
Question, for Hogan's Vac Scheme application questions, should I relate the answer back to Hogan?
1. We set our standards high, and we trust our people to hold themselves accountable for meeting other people's expectations. Describe a time when you had to drop everything and really 'raise your game' in order to keep a promise you had made to someone else. How did you manage both this and your other commitments? (250 words)
2. Sustaining a successful and profitable practice requires both commercial awareness and innovative thinking. Tell us about something that you have done that shows you have a strong innovative or entrepreneurial spirit. (250 words)

I think someone said HL got back early/mid December last year, so I'm guessing we'll hear from them around the same time?

Unfortunately questions from video interviews cannot be shared on the forum to make the application process fair for everyone but maybe if you look through past posts, you might find some discussions around those.
I had the same issue and also haven't heard back at all from Cleary. Do you know whether not having done Rare might mean our applications were not released to Cleary?
anyone has any tips about the " Tell us about any open days and events that you have attended in the legal sector" ? what details should I showed in this questions. should I write what I have learned from the events? And how many events I should write ideally?
Anyone has any tips for the cover letter of Travers Smith? Should I follow the structure " why law" " why firm" and " why me" ?
You could summarise what you generally did at most open days i.e. listened to speeches, walked through a case study, and then maybe hone in on some notable points or experiences and even link it back to your motivations.
Don't be afraid to talk about events with firms other than the one you're applying to (at least this is what graduate recruitment seems to emphasise)
