Anyone know when to expect to hear back from GT post interviews

 

[mg42guy32]

Anyone hear from Baker McKenzie/Ashurst/Faegre since yesterday?

Have you heard anything since submitting Faegre at all?

“Assessment centres will commence in May and June and applications may re-open in Summer… “

Where did you see this? Not in any of my confirmation emails

does anyone have any insights on Hill Dickinson's AC? Also does anyone know what the candidate 1-1 part is going to be like?

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

Also how did people do on Mayer Brown tests? All above average for me but last year I had 4/5 above average and 1 average and got rejected… you only get top strengths and not weaknesses for SST so hard to assess

Hey guys, this may not be the appropriate forum for this, but has anyone heard back from Linklaters regarding their international arbitration internship?

Hi everyone! Has anyone heard back from Hogan Lovells after completing the WG?

 

[Naskimovski]

Hi everyone! Has anyone heard back from Baker Mckenzie ? I haven't gotten an invitation to complete their online assessment

 

[AnAnonymousDuck]

has anyone else applied to fried frank's TC? if so, does anyone know what the word limit is supposed to be for the questions? The cover letter entry states a 500 word limit but there is no mention for the other 3 questions. There also isn't a maximum word entry in the boxes. I figured the best is just to go for the standard 300 limit but does anyone have any further insight?

Hey, thanks!

I applied on 24 Feb, progressed to the test the next day (still not sure whether it’s automatic or not) took it on 26 Feb

Does anyone know what is kingsley napleys tc application process/stages? Been trying to look on their website but it doesn’t seem to be mentioned!

Withers PFO. I now feel maybe it's better not to apply for DTC with no legal experience? Confused again.

Sorry about this . If you don’t mind me asking when did u do the test?

On your point, I think it depends from firm to firm and loads of people progress without any legal experience in some firms and some firms may require legal experience! It’s worth a shot to apply anyways.
