Just out of curiosity, did anybody who applied to stephenson harwood within 2 weeks of the deadline tick all the scheme dates (spring summer 1 & 2)?

I sent my application like 1-2 days before the deadline and selected Spring, Summer 1 and Summer 2. 🥲​

I havr a sneaking suspicion that like like every other firm, they'll take a lifetime to respond...

Cooley put me out of my misery please and send me that pfo.

PMCs communication is terrible. Have not heard anything from them since I applied on the 12/12, apart from the automated "thanks for submitting". Nothing when they closed applications, nothing to explain the ridiculously long wait, nothing after I emailed them three weeks ago now to get an update. Their application was SO lengthy as well. They've done all their ACs too, like I genuinely don't understand why they don't send PFOs at that point or at the very least answer emails??

I agree. I also emailed for an update about a month ago and have heard absolutely nothing! Very frustrating.

yes they said they would “aim” to get back to us this week! I am so curious and desperately waiting (cannot stop refreshing my emails ) I hope they get back to us today or tomorrow because the week is ending😭

Sorry to hear this, if we are rejected for vac scheme, can we make a dtc application in the same cycle for withers?

Anyone have advice for a final stage interview. I heard that the interview also includes a case study type scenario which is communicated verbally by interviewers. I’m feeling anxious about this and just generally the interview considering this is such a competitive firm 😭

Congratulations on landing the final stage interview for Goodwin!

Can I ask if this was for the DTC, and when did you hear back post VI?

I have not heard back from Goodwin since my video interview and Im wondering whether I should assume PFO.

Hi I applied for the spring, what about you?

Amazing, congratulations on the AC! I applied for the summer scheme but still haven't heard back after their confirmation of receipt email. So I'm trying to figure out what that means because they have already sent out AC invites for some and not for others..

[User5678]

I am not sure, hopefully you hear back soon! Best of luck

Is there anyone who's not heard anything from Travers Smith post app? Is there any chance of them offering any more interviews now that a decent few people have received VS offers?

I heard back from them today with an interview invite, so they're definitely still going through apps!

Received a test invite for Fox Williams. Uses Saville Assessment. Pure reading comprehension: 3 minutes to answer 4 questions on a passage (or sometimes accompanying passages). First time I've seen it; I think there were 8 or 10 question sets in total. Apparently next step is a VI, so they can reject me then.... 🫤

Congrats on getting the interview!
Did they call you for the invite? And is it a one-hour virtual interview?
