They call you it’s just a 4 minutes call where they tell you what you did wrong

For me it wasn't until my first day of the scheme

Does anyone know if Cooley calls you with an offer, or if they simply email?

For those still waiting to hear from Cooley- They rang me late on Friday evening with a PFO, so no news is good news atm!

They told me I took such an innovative approach with my presentation by picking a specific company to talk about and I was like “was that not the prompt?” Then I realised “talk about 3 different business operations in a company at risk of greenwashing” meant “companies in general” and not “pick a specific company” 😭😭😭

I spent so much time picking and researching a company lol

I am still waiting to hear from Dechert and Cleary. I had sent out an email to ask for updates and the Cleary grad rec responded saying they would send out responses by 14th March. I know people got invited yesterday to Cleary AC's scheduled on 14th March. I've also read about summer vac scheme offers handed to people on LinkedIn. Should I assume a pfo?

As for Dechert it's been complete radio silence

Has anyone been given an interview for the Withers summer vac scheme?

 

[AP2000]

Anything from Paul Hastings post PHirst steps app?

I emailed to ask for an expected timeline - candidates will likely be contacted for interview in early to mid April.

Same thing with anyone with the spring vac scheme interview so far ?

 

[law2022x]

Those who have gone through background checks, did you have to share if you have had any late payments or defaults?
