I think it might be a while till anyone hears from Shearman cause the deadline was yesterday and it was non-rolling
Shearman & Sterling only closed applications last night and I believe they don’t assess on a rolling basis (I may be wrong) so we will probably hear in the coming weeks.
I know myself and couple others had a VI, just waiting to hear back. I applied on 2nd Jan
Guys I’ve just heard that I’ve been offered an AC with Freshfields! Any advice or tips would be amazing! Many thanks!
Ahh congrats! Probably a rejection for me in that case...I know myself and couple others had a VI, just waiting to hear back. I applied on 2nd Jan
or they're just taking their time- don't lose hope yet!!
Hi guys, with the macfarlanes question (“why macfarlanes and what are your career ambitions”) is it wise to take the following approach?:
Explain why macfarlanes and then
1. State my career ambition e.g. to lead relationships with clients
2. Then Explain how Macfarlanes suits the above career ambition
I thought this because I wanted to link it back to the firm, but can this be viewed as not answering the question?
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I just got a telephone interview invitation from Skadden – does anyone know what kind of questions they typically ask for this kind of interview? It seems to be new for this application cycle and i'm not quite sure what to expect

@Holly No, I think your structure is good, and appears to answer the question. Just ensure that you answer both parts: 1) why Macfarlanes, and 2) what your career ambitions are. Then you can choose to link the two at the end, depending on your preference
