i’d like to know the answer to this too.

are Cooley also sending out the WG in batches? should people expect invites today and tomorrow?

they did say successful candidates would hear back by friday, so if nothing today and tomorrow i guess it's a PFO.

PMC AC invite for London first AC of the cycle! Applied 31 Dec for those interested x

Hey, congrats! Just wanted to ask what scheme you applied to? Applied on the 3rd to the summer scheme so would like to know!

Hi all! Can anyone please give me some insight into the types of adjustments that you can request for assessment centres? Particularly ADHD related adjustments?

Please feel free to private message me about this as this will very much be down to the adjustments you require rather than what others receive.

i hope the interview went well!!

do you know if they’re still sending invites?

I improve more within application cycles. Much more so than between cycles. Anyone else a similar position? Cooley app does not look great. I'm expecting a rejection from them.

I attended a W&C Open Day in 2024 and also received a VI invite on 3rd Jan. It was my first ever VI, and I completed the VI on 6th Jan - I haven't heard back since. What does that normally mean? Rejection or waitlist?

Hey same

The firm gives an overview of the typical AC structure: https://earlycareers.addleshawgoddard.com/careers/placement-schemes-internships/

Hope that helps!

any W&C AC tips?

mine was online, the questions were much more chill than i thought they would be. very similar to VI but i think this depends on your partners. felt like a conversation.

written element required summarising and reading through several documents. you dont strictly need a lot of commercial awareness for it but if you get spooked by big legal terms maybe just going through definitions may help for confidence.

i was unsuccessful and did not receive any helpful/substantial feedback. as ACs come and go i thought this was the easiest one but then again i was unsuccessful so 😬. think they want super clarity and sharpness on your written element as my interview went quite well so make sure you double triple proof read.
