Ashurst:
"It was our intention to be in contact with you no later than COB on Friday 14 February 2025. However, due to the large volume of applications we have received our screening time is taking longer than we originally anticipated.
It is now our intention is to be back in touch no later than COB on Friday 28 February 2025 to provide you with an update on your application."
Valentine's Day is ruined now 🤣

Has anyone progressed with them at all for the Summer scheme? Been seeing a few mentions of interview here and there
Yeah, I am sure I have seen people being progressed... I had given up hope! lol.
In my previous experience with Ashurst is that date is essentially rejection day for those who haven’t heard back. Could be wrong though.
Yeah I had this experience for the WVS in that they gave us a date of when to expect to hear back at the latest but that day was when they sent out all the PFO’s.
It took them two months to send an automated rejection email lmao. To be fair though it was my first ever application so I wasn’t really expecting much. It was an awful application. 🤣

After finishing that horrendous test I had no doubt that the rejection was on the way!
Thanks both for your answers- I ended up not sending an email to the AC firm as, like you said, by being there I was demonstrating I was "fit to sit". It's really frustrating but I couldn't reschedule and did my best so that's all I can do at the end of the day.
I did send an email to the VI firm and they've extended my deadline by three days! which is very kind of them and makes them look extra good in my books 😂 especially after your horror stories (fainting?!?).
Thank you so much for your advice and good luck for your apps!
Next cycle you'll get something hopefully! My advice for next cycle is try to apply to more law firms, for instance I applied to 65 and got rejected from most but still secured a VS with one firm...
good luck!!
Applied deadline for VS. rejection received at 10:50 today
Is there any point in applying to Stephenson Harwood if they're rolling but still have two weeks left before the deadline?
I think they are rolling but they review every application so even if you apply on the day of the deadline, you still have a chance of getting the VS. Best of luck for SH! 🙂
Jones Day AC invite! They came back less than 24 hours after my interview which is amazing.
In a (very small) nutshell, the US has DEI quotas to fill, whereas the UK simply takes candidates’ background into consideration during the hiring process. The former is illegal in the UK bc it is a form of discrimination
Pls correct me if I’m wrong, this is just my understanding
I’ve just seen K&L Gates recently come under fire for removing several references to D&I since Trump’s EO.

Hard to believe this will go over well.
