Ask him the same then

I really want pmc man, I am going to start crashing out

Do you know when they aim to get back to all candidates - I've seen a couple of AC invites on here?

Does anyone have any advice on how to do the personal summary for DAC Beachcroft. I've just outlined my journey from starting a law degree up until now. Should I include a little something at the end about why DAC or should I keep it mostly general?

Did anyone attend the Proskauer Rose open evening on the 22nd of Jan? If so can you please pm me!

hey guys - when a firm is running two separate vacation scheme dates - ie a June and July scheme - would picking the later one affect my chances of securing the TC in anyway?

I don’t think it would otherwise they wouldn’t be holding two VS’s in the first place. It could be that they wait until both VS’s finish before making final TC offers. 🙂

The one thing I can think of is that doing a SVS normally means a later start date. WVS is usually only for law and non-law finalists and graduates who can begin their TC earlier whereas SVS includes those in their penultimate year (plus law and non-law finalists and graduates). 🙂

I think firms bear in mind they have multiple VS so won’t make all their offers for TC following a earlier VS.

I think @Jessica Booker can provide better insight into this though!

Hogan Lovells rejection applied deadline.

 

[EA95]

Hogan Lovells PFO. I really do need some good news going my way.

 

[KJ]

If anyone's done an OC virtual AC before, I'd love to know any advice you have. Is the research/presentation part based on a broad commercial topic?

 

[Chris Brown]

Hogan Lovells SVS PFO 😕

Applied Mid Dec took WGT Xmas Eve.

 

[chlawstudent]

Hogan Lovells rejection applied deadline.

Did you apply for the VS or direct TC?

congrats, what office was it and when did u apply?

 

[BobThebIlly]

Hogan Lovells PFO. Applied for their VS in January and didn’t have to do the WG because I was on their first year scheme

I would honestly love some insight because I don’t know where I went wrong. I also applied for their Lift Off programme this year and got rejected. I got my application checked twice from a trainee so I really don’t know what to say and it is upsetting because they don’t even give feedback. I assumed I would make it to their AC at least…

Alas, rejections are inevitable I suppose

 

[NCTC2025]

Does anyone have insight into the Addleshaw Goddard AC? Am happy to provide insight into ACs for Hogan Lovells, Eversheds Sutherland, Travers Smith, Slaughter and May, TLT, and Freshfields as well as VIs for around 10 other firms!
