I was under the assumption they had morning and afternoon slots for the AC? @ArthurWeasleyLaw

 

[ArthurWeasleyLaw]

Ahh! I think you could be right. Maybe 100 AC applicants for X amount of TCs for this direct route!

Yeah I reckon it’ll be maybe 1 place for every 3 applicants ratio wise.

 

[Freshcutgrass]

Anyway wishing you the absolute best of luck @ArthurWeasleyLaw <3

 

[ArthurWeasleyLaw]

I hope we find out today. Been a while now!

Milbank might come back in the new year… I saw someone receive an AC invite for spring but I applied for summer so idek

I also wonder if they are separating AC’s for LEV FIN and traditional route 🤔

Well done! Do you know how long they’ll be calling people for? Do you think they’ll email rejections today too?

Firms tend to call the people with offers first then reject by email after calls are done. It’s heartless but it happens 😬

 

[Freshcutgrass]

I got my offer call at 12:18 so I assume they’re still making phone calls.

For the summer vac they called on Friday and emailed on Monday

 

[elle woods]

Well done guys on ur A&O TC!! (Hopefully I'll be joining you all in the cohort after my vac lol, fingers crossed)

Anyone heard from Kennedys after taking their SJT?

Got my feedback report today and apparently strengths were "Supporter", "Flex" and "Initiative" with my weakness being "Accountability". No scores though so not really sure what any of that means 😀

 

[ArthurWeasleyLaw]

I haven't been called. Should I take that as an L? They probably would have called everyone by now.

I wouldn't count yourself out so soon - they were still calling until like 4 or 5pm for the summer vac, so there's still time. My friend got called at like 15:45 on the Friday, so don't lose hope! Best of luck! Also they probably took a break for lunch haha

Possible that they're doing the 2027 intake first
