Me too, it seems as though people have heard back for interviews already.

 

[TC129129]

Any point emailing AG about application status if I did VI in late december, or do I just firm the likely PFO?

They just responded to my email with the exact same copied and pasted response as i got in jan saying recruitment process is still ongoing and we will hear back in due course. I dont get why they cant be a bit more human and transparent if we explicitly know people have already received offers

Can anyone provide insight for K&L Gates interview? It's virtual but no clue what to expect!

Is K&L Gates WG test automatic or the next stage? I'm still waiting to hear back post-app for their vac scheme.

The test was next stage, I think they're giving out interviews now...

I also just completed WBD test- I got high for numerical and verbal and 6 for grit, applied intellect and digital mindset and 7 for creative force so 25/36.

There was definitely a mistake in the numerical questions though right?? Like I spent so long double checking my calculations because the phrasing of the answer was really misleading.

Anyway, hopefully it's enough!! 🤞🤞

Omg, I thought I was the only one who thought that in relation to numerical ques. I had a similar score too 27/36, hopefully we meet the benchmark!!

Hi, has anyone done the Forsters AC? I'd be more than happy to trade insights for the Mills & Reeve, Weil, Milbank, and White & Case AC!

Hi everyone! I've been a forum reader for a while now but finally decided to make a profile and contribute I have a Cleary AC and Sidley Austin final stage interview coming up, if anyone has done them and have any insights/ advice I would so greatly appreciate that!!

Hiya @dm_corporate

From my experience, Jones Day usually gets back to candidates fairly quickly (I've known several applicants this year who heard back within 1-3 days). That said, there are occasionally applicants who hear back a week or two after their interview. Although it can vary, I wouldn't worry yet and I hope you hear back with good news soon!

Thanks! I still haven't heard so assuming a rejection.

 

[Wannabe_Lawyer]

For the people who've heard back from Sidley, did you apply to the Spring or Summer intakes (or both)?

Omg wow well done!! Please could I ask when you applied/heard back from Cleary?
