Register HereHi @Jessica Booker ,Do have have an individual you have been in contact regarding this at OC or have you been responding to a shared inbox? I ask as sometimes find sending such details to a specific person rather than an inbox can be more helpful/you get a quicker response.
Honestly- I've probably spent more time thinking about my applications than doing them.haha dw I am very much anticipating a pfo, it wld just be nice to be able to go away and not have to think abt applications at all as they have consumed my life at this point so was wondering if they will get back to me by then or not
sorry about W&C tho I didn't apply but from what I've seen they really do take their time, it must be frustrating
but yeh thanks for the advice I'll defo keep the plans then
I would try and follow up with them directly if you have their direct email. You can just ask politely whether the adjustments you requested will be able to be accommodated ahead of the day, or ask whether the firm needs any further information from you ahead of your AC. You can explain that you just want to ensure you are aware of what will happen on the day so you can prepare for the assessments.Hi @Jessica Booker ,
Thank you.
I have been in contact using the general trainee recruitment email. Would you advise to send another email to the person I have been in contact with? Their email address is at the signature of their email.
literally, I've had dreams about applicationsHonestly- I've probably spent more time thinking about my applications than doing them.
Thank you and yeah I received the email today.Congrats!! Did you just get it today?

Hey! Congratulations on the written exercise.any insights on dechert written exercise?
Direct TC - hoping that may explain the silence …would u let me know what they respond ?I am in the same boat, I emailed them today and still waiting for a response. Did you apply for a VS or direct TC?
DTC - does that make a difference ?Was this for SVS or DTC?
There are two ways to view this. On one hand, if it is the only application question on the form, then you will ideally want to spend as much words covering all the relevant aspects, backed up with specific examples. On another hand, meeting the word count exhaustively when you do not have much to say, may come at the expense of tarnishing the quality you have already built. That said, I do know that the ropes question asks one to cover three qualities their lawyers must have. In 300 words, you may not be able to cover this fully. Thus, I would personally try to up the word count by critiquing your own work and deducing what would make it better when added.
I'd strongly recommend getting closer to 500 words but not by just filling it out. Often when people are not using closer to the 500 words they are really missing the detail needed in the question, especially how the characteristic will drive the firm's business.
hello yes it is!Hey! Congratulations on the written exercise.
If you don’t mind me asking, is this for summer?
