Has anyone heard back from Kennedys post AC yet?

no

 

[Tintín]

I took mine on Friday and just heard back today

Did you apply for the earlier intake if you don’t mind me asking ?

 

[sl0712]

I selected a random one, and on the next page there is a space where you can enter your school name manually. So that's what I did.

I had emailed them but didn't receive a reply either.

thank you!

Not all, but majority

Was this information given in one of the events? Just curious.

No, the time I got the jumpscare email I replied it back to ask (cos I don't wanna to waste my time to attend if it's meaningless lol)

Seemed fairly standard for the most part, except the last VI question which I still felt was pretty easily answerable. Results could be up to the execution of the VI answers.

Mind sharing if you received a confirmation e-mail after completing it? I'm feeling kind of anxious as I haven't gotten one. Was wondering if it would be worth to e-mail the recruitment team as apparently there was an issue with Rare sending the invitations last week.

Don't stress mine took a while to come through

Was anybody successful in securing Fieldfisher DTC?

Yes, got a call w an offer yesterday, you?

 

[AryanAgg]

Interesting, I did receive it within 5 minutes after taking the test, not sure if someone take hours to receive like Macfarlanes as I did it a day before the deadline, so it might be dependent on the traffic.

Good luck for all of us!

 

[nonliquetagain]

are bclp and baker mckenzie dtc applications rolling?

bclp is definitely rolling, not sure about baker

[Bruce Wayne Attorney at Law]

Has anyone heard from Linklaters for their London-Singapore TC?

 

[Kate.m]

Is it bad news if I haven’t heard back yet

 

[nicoledm]

Anyone heard from Brown Rudnick?

 

[silonthesofa]

Got a first round interview invite for Bristows half an hour ago, for anyone keeping track. Did the written exercise last Thursday, had slots to choose from on next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Does anyone know what's an effective way to conclude personal statements for TCs? As they don't really use the closing salutation concept that cover letters do. @Jaysen @Abbie Whitlock

Hey @WeGotThis!,

Which firm is this for? If there's no 'Dear XYZ', you can probably leave out the salutation
