[Official] Willkie, Farr & Gallagher Vacation Scheme Thread 2025/26

Thank you.
Will there be more tomorrow or is today the final batch.

Also are these being sent in a batch or individually?

@Myparentsdream

We expect there to be more invites tomorrow. They will likely be sent individually so we can keep track of them to ensure we have sufficient remaining partner interview spaces for everyone who accepts those invites.

Thanks,

Kirsty

Hi @Kirsty Wilkins

Can I please know if the order in which the interview invites are sent out is based on our WE scores?

Thank you!

great question! the later the invite is it the more you go down the list?

Is preference given to RG students. Can we get some sort of feedback after it as this is a pretty far stage to get to to not get any feedback at all. It is also torture getting a rejection on a Friday let alone at 5:30pm!

How many got to WE? How many original slots did you have for interviews?

Hi @Myparentsdream

Yes, everyone that scored the highest marks gets invited first, and then we go down the list as slots fill.

As you'll be aware, all our Written Exercises are blind marked so we have no idea which university applicants went to when inviting people to interview. We base that decision purely on the scores. Similarly, our partners do not have that information when they interview their assigned applicants. We do not provide feedback for those rejected at Written Exercise stage as there's one one person in Graduate Recruitment here at Willkie, so it would just not be possible in terms of the amount of time that would take. However, those that do not progress following the partner interview stage do all receive feedback.

We have around 55-60 places for partner interview.
