heya, I didn't receive this email- is it post assessment?

They just sent this morning. Maybe check your spam. It seems like a very generic email telling us to be patient lol

Thank you for your application to the vacation scheme at Latham & Watkins. Due to the volume of applications we received we are still working through reviewing these. We are therefore hoping to provide you with a further update on the status of your application within the end of February.

Has everyone who applied to L&W Summer - who did not get a response, get this email now?

anyone else just received this email from Latham for spring VS application?

Thank you in advance for your continued patience.

Should I keep my hopes up or just give up on Latham?

Received the same for Spring VS. I agree I am not sure what the take should be on that email. But honestly, without sounding too pessimistic, I believe mid feb is too late to be considered for a Spring VS surely if it will take them that long? It would make more sense if it was for a summer application (unless they are willing to consider Spring applicants for the summer VS) and since some people seem to have progressed to ACs I’m not too hopeful tbh. But of course I might be completely wrong. Moreover, I can’t see from this forum that a lot of people have been formally rejected, it just seems to be radio silence from their end.

anyone heard from Linklaters for Summer VS?

Since this question has been circulating a lot and it doesn't seem like anyone else has provided a clear picture, I'll elaborate based on what I know.

People in Pathfinders or the Fast-track heard back about ACs around the end of December. We could book AC slots for January and I believe there are still a few ACs scheduled this week. Based on the people that I met from my AC and others that I've talked to, there doesn't seem to be a distinction between Spring and Summer applicants.

I don't think I met anyone at AC who didn't go through some fast-track route so my assumption is that those who applied through the standard route should expect to hear back soon-ish for invitations to ACs in February?

Morning all!
Ropes and Gray. Advice given was variable and nobody seemed to have consensus so I took the opportunity to ask Ropes directly for their input. Maya very kindly came back to me a minute ago with very detailed clarification around what they want. Ultimately, tie back to your own experience IF word count permits without compromising your answer. Hope this helps 🙏
