Anyone that's done the Reed Smith VI, please can you share the structure of it ?

Is it strength-based or competency based?

 

[saj2002]

Has anyone not heard back from TW? Shall I assume pfo?

 

[Tattyasha]

just out of interest what stage did you guys get to in the process?

Just application except one telephone interview with Akin. And that’s with 3 mentors. Plan B I think

 

[Tattyasha]

wouldn't a full house be like 3 rejections and 2 acceptances or vice versa...
it's more like a flush

In poker terms yes, but not in bingo

Any AC invites from Akin? Or Vinson? Anticipating a bunch of rejections

 

[kcr]

Anyone heard from WFW post-VI?

 

[bruhman]

Big congrats for that and I'm sure you'll smash it! Out of curiosity, what date/how far away is the AC?

Thanks, I certainly hope so. I haven't chosen the date yet but they have offered various slots w/b 29th Jan.

Looks like people on here heard from Vinson first week of Feb last year, they just closed last week and are non-rolling!

Anyone heard from white & case summer?

Would also like to know this and any insight on either portion on the assessment would be appreciated!

 

[Sunshinepink]

Does anyone know if the Reed Smith assessment is like Simmons & Simmons where they watch you? I want to know so I know whether to look a mess whilst taking it.

Edit: It's like Simmons & Simmons so I'm taking it tomorrow

How long did it take for you to get invited to do the TI after completing the assessment?

for people that submitted Freshfields for Direct TC, can you access your personal statement after submitting, or does it just show the name of your document? worried it didn't submit properly.
