Do you get a confirmation email after completing the Hogan Lovells Watson Glaser test? My computer was weird at the end and I'm worried it didn't submit??

I didn't get an email, but I got a confirmation screen when I finished.

Has anyone got the WG after their HL lift off application?

I’ve got mine next Tuesday morning, don’t know when they actually start ACs since I just accepted the time they proposed on call.

Travers WVS interview invite! Would massively appreciate any insight/hints/tips if anyone has already had experience with them this/last app cycle!

Feel free to drop me a message if you need help with TS, did the summer VS this year🫶🏾

Hi, I thought Kirkland and Ellis was non rolling for some reason but people are getting VIs - does this mean it’s not?

Hi, I thought it wasn't rolling either. But there doesn't seem to be anything online confirming that, so probably safer to apply sooner rather than later!

Just received a PFO for Clyde WVS - the email is a bit confusing though, can someone explain what this might mean:

Thank you for submitting your application and completing your online assessment for Clyde & Co's Winter Vacation Scheme.

Unfortunately, after reviewing your application, you did not meet the threshold to be invited to the assessment centre.

However, we remain impressed by your application and would like to keep your details on record for future vacancies.

Is this just them trying to be nice in their rejection or are they genuinely ‘impressed’ by my application. Confused.

Tbh I’ve received bunch of emails from firms like this. I think it’s their way of breaking the bad news.🙃🙃

Hey, I thought it was not rolling! Is it not?

I also thought so, but I heard today with an invitation to VI.

Does anyone know how long Jones Day takes to respond post-interview for WVS?

Think 1-2 days! Very quick

Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from Slaughter & May for the winter workshop?

 

[TCLA Community Assistant]

Does anyone know how many vacation scheme places Jones Day has across all three - winter, spring, summer?

has anyone heard back yet? am still waiting too!

 

[lik0401]

anyone know when Sidley will get back to us re WVS? had anyone heard anything yet & if so was it by phone or email? best of luck to everyone!!

 

[gw9]

has anyone heard back yet? am still waiting too!

I'm waiting too - I had a look at posts on here from previous years and I think it sounds like they usually send offers in mid to late November.

 

[laubedusixjuin]

I'd personally wait until the end of next week before chasing - it is still quite early in the recruitment for Winter Schemes (which can often be only a few weeks before the programme starts). Depends when the programme starts though - as I know some are starting in November (which I find really bizarre to be running during term time).

I have been thinking this - I don’t know about other people, but for me, all of the winter vac schemes running are during term time, as my uni doesn’t finish until 16 December - has meant I barely applied for any

Hi @Jessica Booker,
Is it possible that BCLP changed the word count of the questions? I opened the applicaiton form and started working on it a coupleo of weeks ago and the word count for each question was the same as the one you have stated. However, I logged into the application today and the word count for the first 3 questions have changed to 500 words. Is this normal?

@Jessica Booker Has there been any answers for this? I'm in the exact same boat, went to submit my 200 word answers and now all 4 questions are asking for 500 words? Don't want to write an extra 1200 words if it's an error on the application form :/

 

[aspiringlawyerr]

anyone heard back from W&C after VI?
