For W&C, if you haven't heard back at all post application, it most likely means that all winter spots have been filled. However, they'll consider your application for the spring and summer schemes (if you placed them in the preference order list). - I asked a recruiter about it..

Ah interesting, hopefully we can get considered for the later schemes

Should you address Norton Rose Fulbright as it is or can you shorten it to NRF in an application?

Ropes & Gray: Describe three characteristics that you believe make an outstanding Ropes & Gray lawyer and how that lawyer would drive our business. (500 words max) Does this question require answering why I am suited as a Ropes & Gray lawyer? Some general advise will also be appreciated. Thanks! @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam

Definitely one of the more challenging ACs, but I felt I nailed it.

Latham & Watkins Open Day Invite, the fact we had to do a test, application questions and VI. I'm about to make the most out of this😂

In case anyone is wondering, got my invite today. For the test I got strengths in analytical/complex thinking and self motivation, weakness in effective communication

Been there, done that. You at least don't have to do the VI etc again for the Vac Scheme.

In terms of general advice, I would look at their values. I did their VS but the question's changed since then I think.

What did everyone get in the 5 sections of the Mayer Brown test? (Above average, average etc)

If a WG wasn’t timed, I was free to take my time… right? I didn’t take that long honestly but it wasn’t as quick in comparison to when I have seen a timer
