bakers spring pfo after VI

 

[AfVio24]

Has anyone heard back from CMS post-online test? Or know when they started sending out invites/rejections last year?

I got my VI mid December and submitted 18th. Some AC's were given just before Christmas, believe the next batch of AC's are due to be sent within next 10 days or so

Has anyone heard from Irwin Mitchell?

 

[LegallyStressedOut]

yep PFO

Sorry to hear :/ Can I ask when you applied?

was the online test automatic? I applied on the 5th of November and still haven't received anything besides a confirmation email, no test nor VI; safe to assume PFO then I guess?

Hi @Jessica Booker, I did a VI yesterday and I thought it went ok bar one question - where I only managed to answer half the question in the allotted time. I'd be grateful for your opinion on how this might be viewed?

Its quite common for candidates to not answer one question quite as well as the others. Its hard to know how the firm will view this as its subject to so many variables, but I can say that it is possible to not do well in one question and have a stronger response in the others, which effectively compensate and still get through to the next stage of the process.

Hogan Lovells Summer AC!! Got rejected from Liftoff so assumed my VS app would be binned too but hope is not lost! There were two timeslot options: 14th Jan & 16th Jan

Does anyone know how many questions are asked in Kirkland's VI?

 

[g.cl.2020344]

just heard from W&C if you haven't heard back from them about WVS- either post app, VI or AC you are being considered for spring or summer!

 

[suhana]

anyone get any update for dentons after vi?

 

[jacksollaf]

Does anyone know when Debevoise usually answers regarding their Open Day/VS/TC?

 

[jacksollaf]

BTW, did a lot of you apply to Debevoise? I feel like not many people applied, compared to other firms...

Is this after you emailed or was this a general email to everyone?

I think they get around 1000 applications a year when i spoke to Grad Rec

I just looked on last year's thread and quite a few people heard back in early February, so maybe expect a response around late Jan/early Feb? Although ofc it might not be the same timeframe this year

Oh alright, thank you! They send out about 100 invites they said on their website, so I suppose that isn't actually that bad, 10% chance I guess (I'll be replying to this if I get the PFO 😂 😂 )

I emailed them

 

[jacksollaf]

would it be a good idea to email W&C and ask them about the status of my application? I haven't heard back yet, even though I applied quite early (13th of October)
