If your degree is three years, then you can apply now. If your degree is four years, you can apply in the penultimate (third) year.

Thank you!

Anyone heard from Mills & Reeve or Squire Patton Boggs yet?

When Gibson Dunn emails you with a reminder to apply for their vac scheme ending with "We hope you decide to apply" but beginning the whole email with "Dear firstname" 🙃🙃🙃

i received an email back from the recruitment team but not too sure whether this means i have been placed on hold?

what did your email say? Mine (november said) "The Recruitment Committee has now reviewed your application and for the short term, we would like to place your application on hold. We will consider your application further towards the application deadline, 13 January 2023, at which time we will advise you as to whether or not you have been shortlisted for interview."

Haha I've previously received one with "Dear *my surname*".. I think I forgot to put my pronouns in the application form!

hey everyone - does anyone know what Latham's standard practice is regarding sending VIs and PFOs? as in do they wait until the very end to reject people ? I haven't gotten a VI invite yet for the spring vac and seen many people getting invites here. Still hoping (!!) for a success here haha, has anyone actually received a pfo?

they wait till end for PFOs im pretty sure - at least from looking at the thread last year. That does not mean that there is not another round of VIs though.

Still waiting for a VI, but for summer. Fingers crossed!

this cracked me up

If a Firm asks for more details about your international high school grades. Do I assume that my application looks interesting for them ?
Thanks.

Not sure, but in my experience this happened to a firm I applied for in this cycle. They asked for my high school transcript and a week later I received an AC invite!

Hi guys,

I received an invite to RPC's Watson Glaser & the email states that "the deadline to complete this task is Tuesday 17th January 2023".

Was wondering if this means I have to complete the WG by today at 11:59pm, or tomorrow night.

Have never taken this test before and only given two days to prepare so trying to maximise that time as much as possible lol. Would appreciate if anyone could advise on this

Does Mayer Brown send out their online test automatically or after reviewing your app? I applied late Dec and still haven't received anything

 

[jomar]

macfarlanes PFO, expected it as i’m not at their target unis

can you clarify which univerities are?

Automatically, in that they don't review apps first. However, they send it out manually, so it can take some time
