me too.
Hahahahah. Most likely, people opted to do theirs tomorrow. I have mine tomorrow and my anxiety is through the roof. LOL
Yes they said I passed their benchmark + I had also attended one of their Open Days
Hi! I applied for Slaughter and May's direct TC on October 15th and still haven't heard back. I've seen that people who applied after me have either received rejections or progressed to the next stage. Does anyone know if this is a good/bad sign? I'm just a bit confused as to how their process works.
Mathieu just emailed us and said there were some issues with the link as well, so he's sending it via email instead 😂😂how did you everyone find Skadden?Timing was brutal
Baker McKenzie PFO Post-SJT, My feedback results were okay even got 9/9 for one of the sections. I really don't understand sometimes
Plenty more firms about - chin up. I'm sure you'll get something eventually. I haven't heard from them post-SJT.Baker McKenzie PFO Post-SJT, My feedback results were okay even got 9/9 for one of the sections. I really don't understand sometimes

Hey there @LawLawLawLawLaw ,
I believe you are not late at all if you apply now to firm's with Jan deadlines, seeing as most firms receive the bulk of their applications in the last two weeks. I recommend for those January deadlines, however, submitting them before the two -week mark for each firm. This approach will also depend on whether each firm has rolling or non-rolling deadlines. For the rolling ones, I recommend definitely prioritising them ahead.
The number point is also a really interesting and heavily debated one. There are no set number of applications you need to submit, it all depends on your personal approach. For example, submitting a small number of carefully written applications enables you to focus on quality over quantity. This could improve your chances of moving past the application stage. On another hand, the process is also sometimes really a numbers game. I have submitted applications which I knew were not perfect, but had gotten me to the next round. I know of someone that only submitted one application, but got a direct TC offer. I know of people that have submitted 25, and got an offer from the last firm they applied to. Yor decision to choose 12 is great as I also always recommend applicants applying to at least 10 firms per cycle.
Overall, whichever approach to take is dependent on your schedule and capacity.

Hi there @aspiringhighflyer ,
It's totally fine if none of the open days were at HL. The key is to focus on what you got from each open day. For example, did it spark any new interest in a particular practice area? Did you take part in any case studies or workshops? As the question is also unspecific on which links to provide, I believe you can touch on a variety of stuff. For example, if you got a presentation by a practice during an open day, that's also a core practice at HL, you could mention in a brief sentence why that strengthens your resolve to train at HL.
i only saw someone progress to the ac for spring here, so i guess not? im waiting too :/
