Some spots are for Bristol!

Online assessment before the invite expires

15 in London and 5 in Bristol, I believe

It’s just that I thought they said 20 trainees in London and 6 in Bristol 😕 thank you though : )!!

I passed the DLA wg on the 30th oct... haven't heard back from them since. Not sure how to feel about this

I’m sorry you haven’t heard back. Can i ask how you knew you passed?

when you receive the Willkie Vi how long do you get to do it?

Hi @Bbhu19

You get 1 week to complete it.

Thanks,

Kirsty

I’m sorry you haven’t heard back. Can i ask how you knew you passed?

They email you to let you know you have passed the benchmark — often the day after you take the WG!

Hi, does the HSF Kramer online assessment need to be completed before the deadline today?

I don't think so. It is 7 days from when you receive the email

I have received an email from DLA Piper saying they are ‘writing to confirm that your application is now under consideration for the next stage of our recruitment process, the first stage interview’. Does this mean I have met their benchmark for the WG? Or do they send an email that specifically states you’ve passed the WG? My feedback report wasn’t the best so I’m quite worried and don’t know what to make of this email. Any help appreciated!

Can anyone share some insights on Mayer Brown VI, please? Willing to share insights from Weil and Latham vi

Hi @Abbie Whitlock and others! For Skadden’s Q3, do we need to go into details on what the firm’s practices and teams can do to help clients navigate the development we’re describing? I structured my answer like:

Paragraph 1 - describing the development
Paragraph 2 - describing how it affects clients (now that I’m rereading, I’m thinking perhaps I could go into details on Skadden’s specific teams here??)

Thanks in advance.

Hi I made a new vantage account as I no longer have access to my uni email which I had erroneously used to make the vantage account, while copying my details for an application from the old account to the new account my laptop froze and I panicked and clicked around a bunch only to realise that it got submitted. The problem is that I had already applied to the firm through my new account earlier, and another application got accidentally sent from the old account. Is there a way to withdraw an application on Vantage or will I have to email the firm ?
