Do slaughters call or email for successful VS interview

 

[Applicant3728299643]

The calls have started going out. I believe that they call first but will email you if you do not answer. Manifesting a phone call today!

Wait they’re calling people to tell them they’re being invited to interview? That’s so bizarre ahahah

 

[yasmars]

Massive congrats!!! May I ask when you did your virtual AC?

Thank you! I did it last week Thursday!

Does anyone know if there's any disadvantage to doing a later AC out of 3? Are decisions usually made after all are completed?

 

[TortillaTC]

Wow Orrick WG! Seems they do it in batches!

Congrats!! Do we know how many candidates get the WG and/or reach AC?

 

[Donna Paulsen]

Does anybody know what the conversion for the Slaughter and May vac scheme is? They put quite a lot of emphasis on not disadvantaging direct TC apps so Im quite curious as to how many vac schemers they take on to final TC. Im pretty sure they give 75 Vac Schemes and offer 85 TCs overall

I wouldn't stress I think it's about 50/50 usually but a partner told me that they essentially fill from the VS for anybody they want and fill in the rest so if you do well enough the place is yours

The waiting game is so I feel like I’ve put my life on pause and just spend my time refreshing my emails gotta Start setting boundaries on only checking my emails at certain times in the day and reviving hobbies to not make my world revolve around this
