I asked when we would hear back on my phone interview, and they said the beginning of this week - as they are running interviews at the end of this week. So probably tomorrow or Wednesday!
Best of luck!

I applied for spring. But I've seen loads of people on here get ACs for summer way before I did and funnily enough the invite email didn't say specifically invite to spring/summer vac AC like most law firms do. So I get the feeling they just interview people as and when they want based on the strength of their app???
Rejected from Reed Smith after research questions
I am sorry to hear this but every time I get a rejection I just tell myself it was not meant to be!!
I'm nervous about mine when did you have to submit your questions? I submitted mine nearly 2 weeks ago and still haven't heard back?
Has anyone heard back from Simmons and Simmons post their SJT? Its been weeks nearly a month since I've done mine and I haven't heard anything back!
I have completed an AC at Ropes & Gray previously - let me know if anyone needs any help!For those waiting on Ropes & Gray, they’re aiming to let people know by the end of Feb
I submitted mine on 26th Jan! Good luck with yours, hopefully will be good news!!I am sorry to hear this but every time I get a rejection I just tell myself it was not meant to be!!
I did the SJT mid January. Got invited for the online ability tests and VI on 5 Feb!
Has anyone gotten a VS offer and could not attend due to a time conflict and got the timings for the vacation scheme shifted? Or, better yet, got a TC offer?
It is overall quite a challenging & intense day from my experience! However this was 2 years ago so it may have changed. It consisted of a written exercise, negotiation exercise, partner and associate interview, and a presentation!

Timings being shifted are far more likely, or being fast tracked to the final training contract assessment. Jumping from a SVS to TC offer will be rare.
Firms know if you are likely to accept another firm’s SVS offer over theirs, you are more likely to accept their TC too, and so typically are more cautious than not.
Won’t they give me a very small time frame to accept their TC? The reality is I would choose this firm over the other one, it’s just that I have already signed for the SVS.
They take a lot to reply to you..Last year I sent my app in November and they sent me a rejection in May
I believe it’s usually around 4 weeks to accept but I might be wrong. Have you had the TC offer yet? If you haven’t then the problem doesn’t arise yet. Should you be offered the TC and want to accept then can’t you just turn down the VS?
Perhaps I’ve misunderstood sorry .
