@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica! In one of my applications, I have not filled out the equal opportunity monitoring questions (gender/birthday/etc). Will this affect my application?
Honestly, best of luck to both of us!! I'll keep you posted on how I get on, let me know how you get on too!!
I believe the individual got the offer after completing the winter vac scheme.

No - these questions are optional (either by non completion or by choosing “I do not disclose” and are used for reporting purposes across applicants. Answers are not accessible in terms of seeing an individual’s answers in the recruitment process.

I am fairly certain this was off the back of their winter scheme. They will purposely still hold back opportunities for their summer process.
Does anyone have any tips for writing a memorandum of understanding during an AC?
Did the NRF arctic shores this morning, I got 4/4, 4/4, 1/4 and 2/4 and I would say this test is bullsh*t but reading the feedback it was actually very accurate lol😔 not the best scores but holding out a glimmer of hope
Also did Kennedys VI this morning, it’s so interesting how I can have no nerves before a VI and know what i plan to say inside out and even so, as soon as i hit that record button, my brain goes out the window!! Kind of bombed the first question but i hope the recruiter sees through my nerves as my second and third question were much better in my opinion, once i relaxed
Hey all, does anyone have any insight into the Simmons and Simmons AC? Would appreciate any tips!! - Would be happy to share tips for HSF, Macfarlanes, Weil, and Osborne Clarke

Hi! Same!! I hate that most firms use it now since it’s sm harder than a real interview! Honestly so terrified of this one because they give no indication as to what to expect, i.e commercial or competency or motivational 🥲
I applied on Dec 28th and received the test on Jan 10th
Milbank handing out ACs on weekends. Speaks volumes about work-life balance there!
I haven't had anything about WG and I received my AC invitation yesterday. Applied like 30 mins before the deadline closed.
Hey, it was really standard questions and nothing too challenging but make sure you research the firm and have a commercial story you know quite well handy.
One thing that was tricky was that there was no number countdown it was like a meter that filled up so it was kinda tricky to gauge how much time you had left.
Hi guys! Does anyone know for certain that Davis Polk has invited people for interviews? I know one person said so but I’m still holding out hope since I’ve not seen anyone else talk about this lol
