Just heard back from CC this afternoon, said that I was not invited for a VS AC as too were only 30 spots on the VS, but because they thought my application was ''great" they put it in the TC app pile. Did anyone receive something similar?
If it’s the same as last year, academic references are requested after the first round of screening
I think it's a good sign, I received that before being invited for an AC. Just be proactive - chase up your reference
At a hsf workshop I went to last week, they said they have been reviewing applications and I know some people who have been sent their rejections already. However, their brand ambassador told me they were non-rolling.
My best guess is they review and reject on a rolling basis but won’t send out any AC invites until after the deadline
the head of graduate recruitment said DLA are rolling at an event I attended in November
Hi Taylor, I've known 2nd years in the past in the same situation. The gist I got was they did CC's first year scheme and got offers off the back of that.
Can anyone offer any advice for the A&O interview?
From a friend who secured the A&O TC two years ago regarding the case study interview:
"For the case study I would say that the main two things to think about are the amount of information you are going to have to read and process within a short time, and second, make sure you take a look at the figures carefully. I summarised what was included in each piece given in the booklet on a piece of paper for reference so that if the partner asked me about something I needed to refer back to, I didn’t have to sit there flicking through the whole booklet every time.
They aren’t looking for legal knowledge as such, but more your ability to read and process a large volume of information, to present it coherently back to the partner, identifying the legal issues, and then to answer any questions.
To prepare for it I would just say honestly don’t forget to look at the figures - when I had my booklet of information I needed to calculate a different profit to the one mentioned in a table of figures.
And just have a plan for referencing the information.
So I remember the different pieces of information being called a, b, c, d etc, so I wrote a = refers to environmental concerns"

You might want to consider creating a thread for this. I'm aware of a few students on here who have had A&O interviews before and they might be able to help!
Hi, I applied to BCLP's vacation scheme and received an invite to do the verbal reasoning test. Two days later, on Friday, I received an invite to the AC but I have not completed the test yet. I booked a slot for the AC but do I still need to do the test? Kind of confused on what to do here as I don't want to perform badly on the test that they rescind the AC invite?

Congrats, you’re killing this!
