Why do you think they aren’t allowed to say??

I had that with another firm this cycle and got the impression it was a combination of not having completely decided on offers, not wanting to panic anyone and avoiding anxious emails from those still waiting

Has anyone who had a Bristows WE deadline for 23rd Feb managed to hear back regarding first round interviews?

Im definitely being paranoid but I got my VS offer last week by phone call, followed up with a email asking me to confirm my attendance (to which I replied doing so). They said in the email they'll be in touch soon with options for preferred practice groups. Ive not heard from them since.

AC invite for Linklaters (DTC), anyone has any tips or advice??

Why do you think they aren’t allowed to say??

In previous years people have popped up in mid March saying “was told to wait until now to share but CRS VS!” And they said they’d heard back about a week prior

Stephenson Harwood PFO. Surprising given I progressed to the next stage in last year’s DTC and their questions this year were similar

Hi everyone! Can anyone give me advice on how to mentally prepare for an interview? While I feel excited to be given this opportunity, I am genuinely an anxious person and I feel like it is more nerve-racking than exciting for me at the moment. For any fellow anxious friends, I would love to hear your thoughts!

Congratulations!!! I’m still waiting to hear back. I’m very hit or miss on how I did it was my first ever in person AC :/ what date did u do your AC?

Thank you!! It was also my first AC and I did it on the 29th Jan

 

[Maria123]

No way congrats that’s an amazing achievement!! I’m on the fence with how I did; I am telling myself not to be optimistic because it was my first one. I did my AC in Feb so let’s see. Either way it was a really amazing experience to combat nerves etc. congrats again so happy to hear you received good news!
