Somebody on this forum emailed last week, and C&C said everybody would hear by end of this week. If somebody doesn't hear today they should email them.

Is that just for spring? Or summer too?

does anyone know what happens if you fail a pgdl module prior to a vac scheme? would they still offer a tc contingent on passing a resit!

 

[ilikelaw]

anyone have any experience with being put on an AC reserve list… i’m terrified by the idea of being called up as late as the day before the assessment centre…

Have they told you you’re on the reserve?

I honestly would use this time and start preparing

Just been invited to a CMS AC! One of the best days of my life, thought I had been ghosted as other people had received ACs for this location over a month ago!

I would imagine that depends on the firm - some are likely more stringent than others with grade requirements (think CC, Slaughters, Links)

Has anyone who has done the White & Case final interview recently heard back?

 

[helenaskelton]

Just received my offer for a vac scheme at a firm i like. Really delighted obviously, but ive also done ACs for other firms and awaiting their responses. Would posting on linkedin that i got an offer from X firm negatively impact the other firms' applications if they see it? Dont wanna look like im not interested in their firms by accepting a diff VS, so deciding if i should just hold off from posting

I personally always keep them off my LinkedIn just in case! But it’s very case by case. I’ve never heard it negatively impacting anyone!

Hi everyone, has anyone had applications progress for silver circle/ US firms with a few 2.2 module grades. Not sure whether to give them ago, I just assumed they would reject me based on that

I've had two 2:2 modules in first year and just got a vac scheme with a US firm if that helps

 

[jagath]

almost can’t believe it but got hsf ac summer almost 100 days since app

think they said next week or week after we should hear back

 

[FutureLawyer_]

Can I ask if anyone with HSF ac offer has any 2.2 modules loool

 

[sadlawyer01]

how long does cleary take to get back to you after WGT?

 

[hanahana]

From what I have seen in forums, the successful people have heard back very quickly, so hoping for the best. I am worried, as although the interview mostly went well, I did not know the answer to one question that they asked, so completely blanked out and gave the wrong answer
