Congratulations on your vacation scheme offer. Haven’t heard back from Gibson Dunn post app in october. Do you think I should email them? When did you apply?
Please are you able to give AC tips ? Especially if you did like written tests or case studies
I think if you haven't heard from GD by now you can assume a PFO they are already well into second-round interviews and have made several offers already. But anything is possible! I applied in early October.
Such a quick turn around! You must have really impressed! Congrats!
Yeah I’m the same! I emailed them and haven’t heard anything! Did a first year scheme w them two years go too! …
You know what? I really did my research! I even spoke to a few trainees and associates at the firm via Linkedin. One of them arranged a call on Sunday with me that lasted like an hour! He offered to speak to me again if I needed before the interview. I phoned him yesterday and he put me on speaker to chat with a counsel that was in his office. Naturally with all the info I had, I nailed the 'Why GD' part. I think I connected well, and was bubbly (it was all zoom) and trust me luck plays a huge part. The topic for the case study was something I was extremely interested in and had researched and read around ad nauseam.
I haven't done the Reed Smith VI but I remember their grad rec team doing an webinar on this for TCLA and they said to try not to shoehorn your answers in questions. Which I found extremely helpful as I used to try to memorise a bunch of answers for VIs, it needs to come across as natural as possible.
I did my WG in early dec for HL, should I just assume PFO?
I don’t think anyone should assume PFO. 🫡
We won’t know until we get the email so we just need to have some faith that we still stand a chance. 🥲
I think I have seen 1 or 2 AC invites so I think HL are just going through all applications and making decisions as they go. 🙂
Best of luck!
Hi, I'm yet to do my VI for Reed Smith! It's my first VI and I would really appreciate some insights!
Has anyone done a Jones Day AC and can provide insight/details? I think TCLA database only has first stage interviews. feel free to DM
Has anyone received anything from Mishcon’s summer VS, especially if they applied in mid December?
Has anyone done Forsters VI? DM me. I can share insights from Eversheds, JD, Slaughters, Macfarlanes and Pinsent Masons.
