On their website they said they could potentially close applications earlier than a deadline, if they allocate all of the places. They haven't done that yet, therefore you have all the chances!!

Could you ask when their scheme date is? It says TBC here and their website. Is it possible that they will cancel it like previous year?
anyone who completed the Freshfields stage 2 assessment didn't receive a confirmation email? I did mine recently and didn't receive anything like a feedback report or submission confirmation. Really worried mine didn't go through!
I went to the open day and they said there’s a VI at the end but your not recorded throughout the whole process. There is a verification video tho but you can turn that off.
Yes, there is a very brief video question at the end. They say it is just for ID checking, but it will be reviewed by a human, not AI.
Haven’t gotten one aswell, I pressed on the link again and it said it’s completed so assuming it has been submitted
Wait. You mean the Mishcon VI question isn't an actual assessed question? In the sense that it's not motivational or competency based? I recall them saying something about it along the lines of "it's just a question about you", but it wasn't clear if it was a question about you such as why do you want to train at Mishcon or if it was something that actually doesn't require preparation in advance.
anyone heard pfo or ac from a&o shearman?
Hey! I just received an email inviting me to do stage 2 of Latham’s online assessment. It starts “we are pleased to invite you…” but I literally just did stage 1 like 16 hours ago, with the application sent in on Saturday morning. Do we know if stage 2 is just automatic or if it’s somehow selective? Not wanting to seem pedantic, but knowing if I did something right on stage one/on the application can help hone my application strategy going forwards.

Hi all, I just finished the Latham & Watkins online assessment. I am very confused, as on their website it was said that there would be a short video interview after their SJT, but there was none. I ensured I answered all questions multiple times, and I have completed every section. I emailed recruitment just in case, but I am so worried right now,
The VI is stage 2 which comes with critical thinking questions. The SJT is the first stage and does not have any vi
Is the Skadden online open day automatic? There were no additional questions and they said invites would be sent on the 18th, just need to know so I can plan my week! Thank you
i applied to reed smith since october and i havent received anything since then, should i just conclude they will reject me? i have been seeing so many test and vi invites already 😔
They mentioned everyone would receive an invite to their open day
