is it worth applying to mission's vacation scheme (deadline is today, ready to submit)? it's non-rolling but ik it's the last day and idk if it's true that applicants who've previously applied to law firms unsuccessfully can be automatically screened out...
I also completed work experience with them via an organisation so I've been super picky about my application hence why it's so late...

 

[allenpopi]

The info is in the email... 30 sec prep time, 1min 30 answer

It isnt in the email. but thanks, appreciate it!

it is always worth it, never take yourself out of the running, especially with a strong connection like you have!! as for the automatically screening out thing, i know mishcon encourages reapplying, some of their trainees got there on their 2nd/3rd attempt. go apply!!!

Hi, is it automatically sent? also how long prep + speaking time was it?

No - it is the next stage



Has anyone done the Willkie written exercise yet? My first time getting through their VI and would appreciate any insights

Sorry to hear! If it makes you feel any better, most of us all got PFOs today, Pinsent and Mayer within 30 mins!

If you don't mind me asking, was HSF summer?

any1 still waiting to hear back from Gibson Dunn, Weil and Paul Weis post initial app?

 

[safari3]

i believe it's 6/01 for spring; 8/01 for both summer schemes

deadline for spring was 6/11 and summer is 08/01 - just so that no one reading this gets confused
