does anyone have insights on the White & Case vac scheme final interview?

 

[ddalki]

Ermmm I think grad recruitment said they ran 6 acs (3 last week and 3 this week) & at my ac day they said end of this week… although I’m not 100% sure. What did they say for u? Also idk if it was you that got the Latham vs but congrats 😆😆😆

WHAT! I was (I think) in the first/second AC batch and they said they'd get back to us by the end of February, earliest. I suppose I have to return to anxiously refreshing my inbox. 😭
Yes, it was me! Thank you very much, and know that I'm rooting for you!

Congrat!!!
Out of interest when did you apply for Cleary?

 

[Jaysen]

@Abbie Whitlock @Jaysen and just everyone generally. Ive been offered a VS and this is my first one. What can I expect and how can I maximise my chances of converting? Also if anyones got any stories of why they were not offered TCs following a VS in the past I'd appreciate hearing those too!

This might help!

Just got through to the critical thinking test for DAC Beachcroft. Does anyone know if this is automatic after the VI or not?
Also does anyone know about the next stages? Apparently there’s a written exercise before the AC?
