Yes you can they mentioned this during a webinarFor Reed Smith's blended assessment, is it fine that I did the SJT part today and leave the VI for tmr? Coz they said they record the response time. @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre
I think that those are quite difficult to prepare but a couple of things that you might want to work on are:Any advice on how to prepare for roleplay exercises where you solve a business challenge and defend your stance against an associate? I know you can do mock interviews but any other ways?
meeeeeee, it's driving me insaneIs there anyone who hasn't yet heard back from HSF post-test for the Summer VS?
I shared some tips on written exercises and how to prepare here which might be helpful: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-156677@axelbeugre What sort of activities does an AC written exercise involve?
Yes, I shared some tips on AC here: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-151966 which I think could be really useful!Any advice for Davis Polk's interview?
22nd JanIt’s strength-based, you have unlimited time to prepare so don’t worry. Also when is your deadline? Trying to figure out when they will get back to us post-VI
You can apply to a training contract whenever you want. If you apply for a vacation scheme or a training contract now, the firm will be able to sponsor you through law school, however, if you apply during the PGDL, then you have to self-fund the course. If you apply to Kirkland now for instance, and you receive a training contract in March 2024, you will probably receive a training contract for 2026, which means that the firm will sponsor you through the PGDL and SQE 1 & 2 (two years) and you will be able to start in 2026. Alternatively, if you complete the PGDL and are applying to law firms, chances are that some law firms will put you in the cohort before the training contract you applied to. So, if you applied to the 2026/2027 training contract and got the offer (and are in the process of completing the PGDL for instance, you will be able to either move to the 2025 cohort (and only be sponsored through the SQE 1&2) or stay with the 2026/2027 and you will have a year to do what you want before you start training.if you're a non-law final year planning to do PGDL, when should you apply for a TC? I'm just applying for vac schemes rn, but some places automatically put you forward for TC like Kirkland. Can't you just apply for them next round (autumn/winter 2024) while doing the PGDL?
Paragraph always as you are writing a cohesive and exhaustive answer. Points will not be effective as it will appear as if you did not necessarily develop the answer and so failed in exhaustively answer the question.Thank you Axel! For the key points, would you recommend doing it in points or in paragraphs?
I know people who did so it is totally possible!does anyone have experience with w&c where they received an AC even though they applied very close to the deadline?
Around 2 hours ago Was at an AC so didn't see it till around 6 On my way homeCongratulations! Did you get the email at 18:20?
I think it is fine however I would personally do everything in one sitting especially if you are not sure, just to be safe.For Reed Smith's blended assessment, is it fine that I did the SJT part today and leave the VI for tmr? Coz they said they record the response time. @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre
