Nope

I've just started mine with that I'm a recent graduate and that I'm applying for the Summer Vacation Scheme, it's only 2 lines but I think it just gives a more 'cover letter' like form to it! Plus there's a 1000 words so there's room to do it

Thanks Kelly, will be adding a short intro
New here so idk how to reply to both you and @whisperingrock at the same time hence the double post haha

Did those of you with VI invites/PFO's from Addleshaw Goddard all apply to London?

Hello - do you mind me asking when you applied and when you completed the games based assessment?

Hello - do you mind me asking when you initially applied and when you did the assessment?

In some cases, no news is good news! At least there is several of us in the same position, which means that we still have a chance rather than being straight up rejected or forgotten about. I will never understand how firms decide to separate and examine their applications haha

at one of the careers fairs they did mention that even though they do a rolling basis, they wait until after the deadlines to hold ACs so that they can review everyone's application - i guess they just have so many to review that maybe theyre doing ACs in batches?

I applied to Weils on the deadline. With little hope. Was wondering how long the rejection/Watson Glaser takes.
