Has anybody done Weil VI- it says in their email that there will be 2 questions, and it takes 30 min - 15 min a question?? @Jaysen @Jessica Booker

How long after did you get the WG? Did you request your score?

 

[Celestie]

Post-app pre-WG rejection from Bakers. Got to Video Interview last year

Well done in re-applying. Keep doing, this one rejection will only make you stronger and will perhaps steer you to a firm that you will be really happy at. Chin up, keep going

Ohhh how longs it been since you got feedback.. it’s been 5 days for me.

How realistic is it for me to be successful applying for vacation schemes at firms with a rolling deadline (Jones day, Travers Smith) only now? Should I just concentrate on those with non-rolling? Would like to apply but don’t want to waste time if they won’t even read my app

I submitted my app for Jones Day 3 days before the winter vac scheme deadline and got an offer. It's worth sending if it's a good app you've spent time on!

I think they have been busy with open days as they had an open day this week and I am waiting to hear back from them post SST test

How long did Reed Smith take to get back to you after the SST? Thanks

I got WG on November, 24th, didn't request my score

Completed SST on 02/11/2020. Got sent research questions on 23/11/2020.

Can I just double check whether we need to also finish our online test/WG by the application deadline?

My online test email says I have 7 days to complete the test but the application closes before that.

Anyone heard back from Weil after applying for a summer vac scheme?

 

[bethbristol]

So sorry to hear this! Do you mind if I ask when you applied?

I applied for Spring on Sunday (29th November). V late I know - I thought I could apply for summer and was aiming for that then realised last minute it had to be spring annoyingly

Anyone heard back from Weil after applying for a summer vac scheme?

Nope

Do you receive an email confirmation straight after completing the BCLP test? When I log into the portal, it says my test is still outstanding but I don't know whether it just takes a while to update?

I haven't received a confirmation email but the status of it says finished and it changed to that straight after completion. Maybe give it a bit of time if not email grad rec!

Took a while for mine to show as finished, and then got my feedback report 2 days later!
