[J32]

Not till mid Jan

Ah okay, best of luck!

 

[Helena]

Oh interesting I sent mine mid-October so fingers crossed!

You know Dan, I don't read anything into dates anymore. It seems to have no bearing!

 

[J Wu]

Oh interesting I sent mine mid-October so fingers crossed!

In the year I did Gibson Dunn, a friend of mine already had her offer before I had even been sent an interview invite, so I don't think there's anything to be worried about if you don't hear back for a little bit

Not till mid Jan

Oh interesting that they're interviewing well before the deadline!

 

[Daniel Boden]

You know Dan, I don't read anything into dates anymore. It seems to have no bearing!

Same here tbh especially after what happened with me last year - we'll only drive ourselves crazy trying to work out GradRec's thought processes!

Dechert VI invite! Does anyone have any tips/past questions on this and what to expect?

Last year it was three questions: their role in the market/competitors, a competency and I THINK why them but can't fully remember. Good luck!

 

[Ricky]

Reed Smith rejection post research questions, absolutely gutted as I went to the open day, connected with the firm and spent a lot of time on the answers

Sorry to hear that. I just got an email saying they are reviewing the application and hope to provide an outcome by Friday. So fingers crossed.

 

[Corporatepal]

Congrit! can i ask when you applied? I submitted mine around Dec 3rd. but still waiting

I applied around 23rd October so quite a long time ago, received invite today.

Thanks!!

Hi, was just wondering - did you apply for the Spring/Summer VS for Macfarlanes? thanks!!

I applied for the spring scheme and hear back yesterday

 

[Soliha]

Hi Soliha! Is this for the summer scheme?

Yes it was for summer scheme

Anyone got through Bird & Bird WG to VI and know their score? I got 30/40 raw and 72 percentile and didn't make it through

Got Baker McKenzie WG to do before Friday so currently sh**ting it. Getting lots of practice in to try and do better this time!

I got 32 right and 93rd percentile and made it to VI. 72nd percentile is still really good! They must have a high benchmark.
