Yeah I’m aware, was just pointing it out because a lot of times you’re made to feel pressured to submit ASAP, or that your chances decrease the closer the deadline gets. Evidently not true.Weil is rolling, some people on the forum have received ACs from what I remember
I got an email them about adding extra stuff on my application portal.Anyone heard anything from Latham?
I think they'll take quite a while, as if I recall correctly they are genuinely non-rolling and will be sifting through a mountain of applicationsAnyone heard anything from Latham?
I haven’t and I applied for the spring schemeAlso anybody still not heard anything from Linklaters? (good or bad!)
This is so helpful, thank you! And massive congratulations on getting through to Watson Glaser. I hope I can do the same.So the way I approached this question was more focused on that last part i.e. "how would you help the firm to continue to be a socially responsible organisation?". It's not directly asking how you would help the firm maintain its B-Corp status specifically, but more enquiring as to your own values and how you would continue to harness these at Bates Wells to help drive CSR. If that makes sense.
I did open my answer with a reference to B-Corp status as I wanted to demonstrate my understanding of it but then the rest of my answer lead into talking about my previous volunteer work, how I continue to be social responsible alongside my other commitments, followed by how this would add value to Bates Wells specifically based on their various commitments to social responsibility I found through research.
I hope this gives you some idea of where to start! I got invited to WG which means I passed the initial screening stage so I guess it is a least somewhat relevant 😭 😭
Also feel free to PM me if you want to discuss anything else regarding Bates Wells apps, would be good to have a support network
I wouldn't worry too much about it. They'll likely read this as indicating that you particularly enjoyed the property work/got a lot out of it.Hey guys,
I submitted an application to Freshfields, but I made a mistake and I do not know to what extent that mistake will play a role in the outcome of my application.
In a work experience entry, my first sentence was I rotated across the immigration and property departments. I talked so much about my work in the property department, but did not talk about my work in the immigration department. This was my final work experience entry in the form.
How will graduate recruitment consider this mistake.
Thanks,
Rijul
Well done! when did you applyAC invite for Macfarlanes! My first ever
Macfarlanes is non rollingWell done! when did you apply

Oh okay, it wasn’t initially clear what aspect you were referring to. Yeah I understand what you mean. Personally, I think if anyone wants to apply for a firm, they might as well put in an application. If a firm thinks an application is strong, they will progress it regardless of when it was submitted. However, your chances do decrease depending to what extent the firm is rolling. I applied to Mayer Brown on the deadline last year and I don’t think my cover letter was even considered because they had filled their VS spots by then, so very firm-dependent.Yeah I’m aware, was just pointing it out because a lot of times you’re made to feel pressured to submit ASAP, or that your chances decrease the closer the deadline gets. Evidently not true.
Strengths assessment is a pretty straightforward SJT. Mayer Brown's verbal reasoning is a bit unlike anything I've seen elsewhere, and tests a broader range of attributes than straight-on critical reasoning.Wahoo! Through to strengths assessment and verbal reasoning tests for Mayer Brown direct TC.
is this very similar to other firms’ situational judgement test / critical thinking? Like Linklaters’?
