Hi, would you mind sharing some tips for the BM video interview? Hope all is alright regardless!

Hi, sorry if I wasn't clear, but my video interview was with Bird & Bird, I didn't apply to Baker McKenzie

Ashurst have started to send out AC invites - for their VS scheme!

Any updates re direct TCs?

 

[Jay-Lo]

Any updates re direct TCs?

Seems like they are going through the VS applications first!

interview from covington !! anyone have any insight into this??

 

[FutureCity]

how long does S&S take to give the outcome of a VS interview?

Was this for Summer or Spring? Generally they take about a week, sometimes people get results sooner but don't read too much into it.

Received a rejection post AC with CMS so in a difficult position now since deadlines for majority of firms have passed and I only have 4 law firms to hear back from :/

 

[DavidJC]

Rejection from Davis Polk which sucks but at least I definitely have an idea of what could have been improved, I guess

 

[Ayo Babatunde]

Ok cool! When was your AC?

Last week Thursday, what about yours?

 

[Shaz]

Also been rejected by Davis Polk

 

[M&ALawyer]

Also a rejection from Davis Polk post-interview.

Did they give you feedback? Or did we all get the same generic message?

 

[Shaz]

Did they give you feedback? Or did we all get the same generic message?

I think generic, I got this:

Many thanks for your application for a summer vacation scheme. Your credentials and experience are impressive, but unfortunately we are unable to invite you to interview with our firm..

 

[Anjeri]

Also been rejected from Davis Polk sigh

 

[DavidJC]

Did they give you feedback? Or did we all get the same generic message?

same generic feedback, i might call them this week to find out more if they're happy to give specific feedback, but at the moment it's just a hindsight thing based on the more recent applications ive been completing

 

[JayB]

Anyone heard from HSF yet? People have said their ACs spaces have been filled? Is this a myth?

 

[ComplianceChange]

Rejection from Davis* polk

Would be grateful for an opinion on the following:

In answering the question 'what is a business you admire', is it necessary to link it back to the firm? Is it more hinting that I should choose a client of the firm?
