[axelbeugre]

@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre Hi, sorry to bother you guys. I was just wondering if you could direct me to any resources you have put out on here on tips for ACs? I know you must have been asked this 1000 times...

Hey @dw11cfc,

I shared some tips on how to prepare for assessment centres on here: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-167210

Congratulations on getting an assessment centre and good luck with it!

Hey everyone, I’m still waiting to hear back from Weil (after VI) but I’ve seen people have gotten offers (I applied either spring or summer) - have I been ghosted 💀 is anyone in the same situation??

 

[axelbeugre]

Does anyone know of any law blogs/publications that I can submit articles to/volunteer for? Think it would be fun and something good to put on my applications to demonstrate genuine interest in certain areas

I think AllAboutLaw does it and I think it would be a good opportunity for you. It is the only one I know unfortunately.

Has anyone else not heard back from Dechert after applying for spring vacation scheme?

Yep, been waiting almost a month now! Not sure what they’re doing, I’ve sent a few emails where they’ve assured me it’s still under consideration. Honestly just a bit unimpressed with them as a firm

this is post in-tray exercise and interview for me though, not post-VI

Has anyone followed up with SH as to when we can hear about the outcomes for Spring VS post VI?

Hi all!

So I have an AC coming up in Manchester and it's going to cost me around £150 for a train and somewhere to stay the night before (I live in the south west but applying to Manchester firms as we are moving there in August). I've asked the firm if they can help with travel costs at all but they have said no. I've already accepted a vac scheme offer with another firm which runs in the last two weeks of June. All I know is that the Manchester firm runs it's vac schemes for 2 weeks in June too but no exact dates. It's likely that there will be some cross over and that I won't be able to attend the vac scheme anyway. Is it worth asking if they can transfer me to a direct TC AC now or should I do the AC and then ask if I can attend a direct TC AC? I come from a low income household and so spending that money on the AC is not something that I can really afford but I could pick up extra shifts at the restaurant I work in to cover the costs if necessary.

Would really appreciate any advice you guys have on this! I would hate to miss out on an AC as I know how hard they are to get and I don't want to be ungrateful but it's just not affordable for me atm

Has anybody who had their AC with Macfarlanes on the 5th heard back yet?

Nope not yet unfortunately

 

[elektrajenkov]

Has anyone followed up with SH as to when we can hear about the outcomes for Spring VS post VI?

I emailed two weeks ago and they said we’d hear within the next two weeks (of which the last day would be today)

 

[Cherikon]

if anyone has done Browne Jacobson's assessment: how scary is the written assessment and is it timed?

I panicked about it as well, but actually, it's not scary at all! It's not timed, and you can close the page and reaccess the assessment.

Any news from W&C post AC for summer today, I was told I would hear back by this week but no news yet

 

[hopefulforatc]

No word from SH summer scheme post-app either.

 

[vsapplicant_0101]

Anyone heard back from Arnold & Porter post interview?

Received a vac scheme offer this Monday on email
