I'm applying this week. If you want to apply you should too. Its a rolling deadline but it only opened a week ago, it's still extremely early in the application cycle you will be fine.

Hi! On their FAQs page on their website, it states that it is non-rolling.
Do you review applications on a rolling basis?
We do not recruit on a rolling basis, all applications are reviewed once the deadline for the position has passed.
Hi Everyone,
I know the new cycle has just opened, and I really want to make the most of it. This is my third cycle, and while I feel my writing has improved, I would be so grateful if someone who has received an offer could spare some time to review my answers and share any feedback on how I can improve further. Of course, anyone else who is willing to help is also very welcome, any guidance would mean a lot.
Thank you so much in advance!

Congrats on the interviews! May I ask when you both applied? Thanks!
Hi Maddy!
Wishing you the best of luck this cycle!!
I did three vacation schemes last cycle and got my TC through a DTC application at another firm, so I'd be happy to have a look at some of your answers. I'm by no means an expert, but I know it can be useful to have another set of eyes review it! Feel free to send me a DM if I can help
A bit late - 3rd Sep, took me a few hours to do their Forage and then I was also doing Gibson Dunns application and they both opened Sep 1.
Hi,
If you don't mind me asking, how were the VI questions? and are there any tips you might have for the assessment as a whole?

Tbh I think that is a big part of it. Jones Day seems to place quite a lot of importance on grades, last year I was on mid 2:1 and didnt get to interview, then i graduated with a first this year and i did
