Does anyone know what the next stage is after the Withers interview?

should i assume a PFO if i havent heard back from Gibson Dunn post app?

 

[Ajkajk101]

Has anyone heard from Dechert for Summer VS and Akin for Spring VS

Has anyone got a PFO from Linklaters for their Spring Vacation Scheme?

Has anyone got a PFO from Linklaters for their Spring Vacation Scheme?

No, but from past experience they usually give out PFOs after the inital offers

Thank you for this. Do they send out all their initial offers at the same time?

 

[LawJ]

Has anyone received a PFO from WFW for the Summer Vac scheme?

From my understanding if your application is still on 66% you can take that as a pfo if it its in the 70s then you will likely have an AC.

Thank you for this, I have seen in this chat people had 66% and received an AC invite from LL.

I wouldn’t read into the percentages. It’s just speculation

Has Linklaters only sent out some AC invitations for spring VCs, or has anyone had one for summer yet?

 

[LawJourney101]

Thank you for this, I have seen in this chat people had 66% and received an AC invite from LL.

In this case ignore my statement. I was wrongly informed.

I haven't heard back either, not sure but I think its a rejection which is disappointing as I did their first year scheme and applied in Sept!

 

[legallady123]

Anyone heard from Covington yet? 🙏🏻

 

[AlegalA]

Congrats! Was this for direct TC or SQE Programme

Direct TC!

 

[legalskills44]

Good luck!! You’ll smash it 😎🍀
May I ask when you applied? Also, did you notice whether your progress was at 66% or 77% & said ‘on hold’ or anything else?

Thank you so much! I’m sorry, I didn’t check before so didn’t see what percentage it said. If you are waiting I hope you get good news soon 😊

Im not entirely sure but most likely staggered. Again not sure, sorry

Does it say the last update and then the data submitted? also, it says that I had applied for two offices, one of which says last update and it is 5 days after the deadline

Mine just says when I submitted - doesn't say about the offices

If you have done it what did it include ? or how are you preparing for it ?
