it is definitely because you have applied to summer schemes. winter vac schemes have basically just now finished taking place.
Bird & Bird AC!! This is my first ever AC invite and I’m so excited! Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
hi guys dla ti invite! I would appreciate any insights on this!! I can offer successful CC first stage invitation (essay) and vi insights (they rarely change the questions) or CMS vi insights
I also did an assessment centre at PMC, which I can offer insights with or any general tips! Thanks!

Dear @Afraz Akhtar how would you go about approaching this question: Please tell us about interests and activities you pursue and positions of responsibility that are relevant for the role. Max 300 words
Love when your office forces you to work during Christmas but it’s QUIET, I can draft applications instead of procrastinate 
Does anyone know if it’s still worth applying to Sidley?
Hi guys! - I've applied for Baker McKenzie's vac scheme and don't really know what to expect. I've heard that they have both a Watson Glaser and their own internal test, is this correct or is it just the one? I've also heard that their video interviews are also a bit different to other firms - if anyone could share any insights on their experiences I would be really grateful and am happy to do the same for Weil, feel free to PM me 
If a firm asks for a company/organisation reference but you don’t think it’s appropriate to provide one, is it ok to provide two academic references
I thought they use Amberjack, or SHL.Hi guys! - I've applied for Baker McKenzie's vac scheme and don't really know what to expect.

There wasn't a WG in the application stage, just a selective amberjack, and then the VI
Whether there's a wg in the AC / later on Idk but I do doubt it.
And ICL the VI is horrific, Godspeed
did Weil say when they would get back to applicants post-VI/SJT?
Yeah during my call with early careers they said we would hear back early in the new year with an app update cos they’re reviewing our VI atm over a few weeks period to determine final AC invites.
Thank you for this!!There wasn't a WG in the application stage, just a selective amberjack, and then the VI

Two questions:
How long did it take you to hear back for the Amberjack?
With the VI being “horrific” LOL, is it because of the prep time or just curve ball questions?
Just got DLA Ti invite! Any insights on that? I can exchange with NRF vi, Weil vi and Simmons vi
Both. It took about a week for me to hear back from the amberjack being progressed. Before that it took 9 days after the deadline to receive an SJT. Yet to hear anything about the AC though.
This ^^^^^
And yea the VI was very unconventional - it tested how well you know the firm & commercial priorities
But 30s to prep was insane
