HAS ANYONE!! RECEIVED!!! A W&C SUMMER OFFER!!! I DID MY INTERVIEW ON 5 MARCH <3 w love. and peace obviously.

no and hopefully we find out SOON, I did mine the week before you

 

[Lord Sumption]

Anyone heard back from Ropes & Gray post AC?

 

[badmintonflyinginsect]

I know a few people have gotten W&C summer VS offers but idk if W&C have given out all the Summer VS offers yet. Best of luck for W&C!​

do you know when they did their interviews?

 

[Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner]

do you know when they did their interviews?

Yeah some did their interviews in Feb and some a lot more recently in March. I know that one person heard back 3 hours post AC for W&C. They must’ve done exceptionally well though tbf.​

Whoa - should I expect a PFO then?

 

[badmintonflyinginsect]

Like someone earlier said, you could get an offer even up to a month after your interview - so I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet! They're probably busy setting up for the spring people right now too

Sorry - just a bit anxious, but thanks so much.

Hi guys,

I was just looking for some advice on interview questions.

How fundamentally different are the questions 'Why our firm' and 'Why do you want to train at our firm?' Do you think that an interviewer would ask both?

Thanks for your help!!

Has anyone heard anything from Tatham & Co? It's been 2 months since I applied and radio silence.... Also feel their spring scheme should start soon so I probably have been PFO'd

I had an interview with them this week for their easter scheme

 

[Hanzeeb]

Hey! I got a call today for the scheme ! I'm assuming they will be calling over the rest of the week too as the call was quite late in the day Wishing you luck!

Huge congratulations! Can I ask how did you perform in the amberjack?

Thank you for letting me know. When did they get back to you with scheduling the interview date if you don't mind me ask?

They got back to me about two weeks ago

should i expect pfo from mishcon for summer since ac invites have already been sent? tomorrow's the 20th anyway

 

[Cece176]

Has Bristows given out any final stage interviews yet??

 

[Jessica Pearson - Managing Partner]

I have a question. I applied for a summer VS at the same time as another one. I would like to change the date as they offer two periods of time. What is the best way to go about it and is this likely to affect the process/my chance of being accepted?

 

[elizabethkate]

Has Bristows given out any final stage interviews yet??

[AJ1]
