Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[D95]

Hi is this for their 2022 TC? Seems like they don't do vac schemes.. So apparently they are reviewing on a rolling basis (given their application window opened only on Feb 1?)

No, it is for TC 2021 They had a window opened for this between October to December.

Also, they definitely do not recruit on a rolling basis but only once all applications are submitted. For reference, I applied on 27 December (so a few days before the deadline) and heard back yesterday with the AC invite.

Does anyone have any tips for the Weil AC?

Last night I got a call that I was accepted for the HSF Spring Vac Scheme!

I wanted to thank you all for your support and incredibly useful posts and as if it weren't for this forum, I would not probably believe in myself enough, write a good application and know how to prepare for the AC (as I really had no idea, big shout out to Jaysen's courses!). Thank you thank you thank you <3

From my personal experience, I applied to Hogan Lovells last cycle for direct TC and didn't even get the WG test invite and got rejected. This cycle, I've improved my answers and luckily I received the WG test invite! So I do think they will look at your application before sending the test invite and then judge your application with the WG score as a whole to make a decision.

From my experience, when I did not get the test invite it was usually when I applied too late. I got rejection from Ashurst for winter scheme, without even doing the tests, but then found out I can reapply so tried my luck, send the same application for spring and received tests immediately!

Thank you! Spring!

For all of you who got Slaughter's holding email, about informing them of any other offers, or other reasons to find out earlier.

I responded but did not get any response- anyone else in the same boat?

 

[Alice G]

I just ended my email to a law firm with Kind Reagrds

Two years ago I misspelled my own name (!) in the email by accident but I was still invited to an interview, so all hope is not lost!

Obviously not a great situation to be in, but maybe they won't even notice.

They probably see typos like these all the time! Try not to worry

Have you received an AC invite from Ashurst?

if it’s not on an application, it’s not that important

Anyone received any feedback post-AC from Reed Smith at all? I had my AC around a month ago, requested feedback via email almost instantly, heard nothing, followed up a couple of weeks ago via email, and I've still heard nothing...

Jessica,
Weird question but is it grammatically correct to say I got a 60 in criminal law .. or I got 60 in criminal law
