Does anybody have any advice for Milbank AC? It’s my first AC and I’m so nervous

@Afraz Akhtar ?

Hey @sooae congratulations on your first AC! This is an exciting time, you must be over the moon.

I have just written a post on this here https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2025-26.9717/post-235123

Let me know if you have any further questions off the back of that.

Good luck!

Has anyone heard from TW post WE for spring? Last year ACs had been released by now...

I was wondering the same thing and found it a bit odd - I would assume that if we don’t hear today it will probably be a Monday job (otherwise I dont see how they‘ll have Time to plan acs before they actually happen)

Anything on Sidley’s deadline time??

 

[cookedlawstudent]

sorry to hear that - was this for VS or DTC?

VS

 

[ladyhaleinthehouse]

on sidley's application, can we only add 4 work experiences?

I have to say of all online tests so far, BCLP felt the most challenging (or maybe just the fact it covered all basis in one test). Then again today I had a headache, and looking at a screen couldnt have helped .

I am hoping it is 23:59 as I can't see anything saying otherwise. Do you know if we can only add 4 work experiences ?

I didn't seen an option to add any so presumably only 4.

Yes only 4

when firms say their deadline is 23:59 do they mean we gotta send it in by latest 23:58 or is a 23:59 submit fine

For written exercises at assessment centres, are these generally handwritten or are laptops ever provided?

Is there any reason to risk it?

only ever done a handwritten one at milbank and it was more like a worksheet (fill in the blank type rather than WE)

mostly get laptops/ chromebook

asking in hindsight, sent an app at 23:59 last night

 

[FutureAntitrustLawyer]

Is it safe to assume a PFO from Baker’s spring VS if I haven’t heard anything post-VI?

 

[phoebe9]

I'm hoping Sidley's deadline is 23:59 cause I'm not ready

I did one at a Slaughters AC and I was given a laptop.
