Anyone know if ACs have been sent for Clyde & Co, NRF, Links, and SH? These are my last hope but it’s not looking good :/

Ive said this yesterday alrdy but clyde is still screening and there are many ACs to be given out they will let us know by end of next week. Links im pretty sure is done

 

[nbjani]

I know NRF and Linklaters have sent ACs out and I’ve seen Summer VS offer(s) for Linklaters. I don’t think SH sent SJT and VIs yet and I believe their AC is during the actual VS itself not before it?

Their deadline for apps closed around a week ago so I reckon you have a shot for them! Clyde & Co seem to have only sent Spring ACs from the posts I’ve seen on the forum so far but idk for sure.​

Not today afaik re C&C. Last week was a few virtual clyde & co, they will have more ACs - somebody on the forum emailed them and they said everything will be communicated by the end of next week. They haven't had time to review all the applications yet as they were swamped.

Thanks!

Last year SH didnt send their online assessment until 2 or 3 weeks after the deadline. Theyre probably doing the same this year

Anyone heard anything from Paul, Weiss or Ropes & Gray (both for SVS) this week?

 

[CharlieandLola]

I took one for the team on Tuesday and they said they are still reviewing video interviews so they will be in touch soon!!

Thank you!!!

We probably won’t hear back from Ropes for at least another week or two based on last year’s timelines.

Interesting, for DTC last year the Amberjack was sent a week after the deadline.

 

[nonlawstudent98]

Is Stephenson Harwood rolling for DTC?

Anyone else waiting on Morgan Lewis post app?

 

[Ijustwanttobealawyer]

Has anyone heard from MoFo?

 

[CharlieandLola]

Morgan Lewis TI!! any tips??

I did it last year and what i'd say is that its not super structured so if you bring something up they will expect you to be able to talk about it and give examples of how your work experiance lines up with it.

Hope it all goes well!

Do you think it is okay to copy a paragraph of my answer from an old application and paste it into my application for the same firm? The majority of my answers are new but this section was actually the only good part so i'd like to keep it.

@ debevoise OD holders, just had my date confirmed!

 

[LawAspirer]

I imagine if no OD invite from Debevoise - it's over?

 

[nbjani]

Hey sorry if this has been asked heaps but I’m having trouble locating the post/thread that I know definitely exists somewhere re: firms that genuinely recruit from direct TCs. Does that ring any bells for anyone?

I did this with a firm, where I only changed why the firm answer from last year but the rest of the three answers were the same as last years one.

I was invited for an online interview with that firm, after completing their test. So not sure if they checked my application from last year or this year.

i remember Bristows saying it was fine. also I highly doubt they would take your previous app and compare it to your current one.

Any HL summer news?
