Is Hill Dickinson SJT/VI automatic?

 

[sbbusybee]

I think people are getting pfo’s as well as ACs, but the later you submitted, the later the AC.

I’m not sure, I think I saw someone say they had an AC invite and applied around the deadline? Although I might be mistaken (empty inbox is making me delirious)

I love how you structure your updates! I hope you hear positive news soon!

Thank you! 💖

You guys need to relax with inbox being empty. It's only been 3 days since people have been back to work. Also grad recruitment are handling the new January trainee cohort and other things also. Maybe watch a movie or watch the sesson finale of stranger things whilst waiting for law firms. Sorry if this is salty or harsh.

Letting you guys know that the Clyde & Co online test is not automatic. I would know because I received a PFO today post-app, and the reason given was because I do not meet the requirements to apply.

Also a heads up to those looking to apply to Clyde & Co, they are strict on grade requirements. I have CBB in A Levels but attend an RG target university, with a 2:1 in my first year, but I was still rejected because of my A-level grades.

I get your point and you’re right but no one is emailing grad rec or pestering them to reply asap😂, everyone is simply anxious and this process is exhausting so the inbox thing is just a light hearted joke

People in this forum have actually emailed grad recruitment to try and get a response faster (or at least asked about it).

Well then that’s their choice but they would do so without the “inbox is empty” messages too i believe, I think you’re referring to that one message yesterday which I remember reading ahahah

Is Hill Dickinson SJT/VI automatic?

Yes it is.

 

[svb risk management intern]

Did anyone see that only 4 HL WVS participants received TCs? I wonder why there's been a drop in offers made from last year's winter and summer avgs (50%-65%).

Caveat: this is all anecdotal evidence found after 10 minutes of LinkedIn perusal, it is possible more were made but I saw that only 10 people were present. No statistics are confirmed, but I presume they are close to the true data points.

In other news Reed Smith OA
