TC or SVS?Slaughter & May interview!!! Does anyone have any tips at all for preparing for it, I would appreciate it
Should I mention the merger on the Shearman application? @Jessica Booker
There's a question on what set the firm apart and was wondering if I should mention the implications of the merger as one point?

I am the same. Are you thinking of emailing them? Usually these things are within 48 hours or so.

It depends if it is relevant to your application or not. I think it is fine to mention it if it is, but at the same time it wouldn’t need to be something you definitely mention.
Is it just me or in the Osborne Clarke application form there is no section to further explain education details (especially if foreign)? I find this odd as Osborne Clarke has its application form on Vantage and in other Vantage forms like the Reed Smith one there is a section for this, so just wanted to check whether this is just me or if anyone else has found this to be the case?
WOW CONGRATS!! Guess I'll be spending the entire day refreshing my emails 😭
anyone waiting on akin (post-test) and gibson dunn (post-app) still?
is it worth emailing gibson dunn?

Same!! Congrats, is this your first one
Well done that is amazing! If you don't mind me asking, when did you do the WG test?
Does anyone have experience reapplying to Covington after making it to final stages in the past? They say this on their website:
"Candidates who have previously applied, including those who have previously attended an interview, can reapply the following year. However, candidates must be able to demonstrate how their application has developed since they last applied to the firm."
Does anyone have advice for what they might expect? How much development are they expecting here?

Has anyone heard from Travers Smith for the summer vacation scheme?
I applied to Gibson Dunn in mid September and still haven’t heard. I sent an email today but not sure if they’ll respond
They respond after the deadline I think
Can we put down previous AC's as potential experience? It will highlight to a firm that we have managed to get through to an AC, completing the case study and presentation is definitely valuable, as well as the group exercise. Or is it simply not enough?
Thank you! I did it over the weekend (can't remember when in all honesty).
Thank you - I am now anxiously checking my emails as I did the WG on Sunday morning, so not sure when I can expect a reply!
I'm so scared it's now time for the rejection batch for Freshfields 😭
