Bird & Bird PFO post VI but WFW invite 20 minutes later

 

[sjr22]

Has anyone heard from Morrison Foerster?

I got first round interview from MoFo in early April last year... obviously take it with a grain of salt but they def take a while to get back to you

 

[Chris Brown]

Has anyone heard from HSF about the Summer VS and been invited to AC?

I applied on 30th November and took the SJT on 3rd December (I passed the benchmark).

Not sure if I should assume it’s a rejection.​

Does anyone find their applications get better/quicker as they go through the cycle? I feel like I’ve peaked in terms of writing them well and quickly, but most of the deadlines are gone/going!

Anyone heard from Taylor Wessing recently? Have they been progressing people to the written exercise?

When did you submit your application, if you don’t mind me asking? Do you mean 23rd December?

What is the exact time for Baker McKenzie's Summer VS deadline? It says 1 Jan, but I would like to know the time. And does anyone know if they review all applications they receive since they review on a rolling basis?

Pretty sure it’s 23:59pm - they’re “rolling”, but no decisions are sent until after deadline. I got the spring VS last year and applied 6h before the deadline.
