    Has W&C and/or Simmons filled their WVS’s? I remember seeing weeks ago that people on here already received offers, but I personally still haven’t heard back at all.

    Yeah my bad, Covington did close a few days ago. However, I just remembered that Jones Day is still open. So the 4 that are still open to my knowledge are: Cleary Gottlieb Hogan Lovells Jones Day Burges Salmon

    I'm not sure if they will be holding more but some people on here have definitely already done AC's for the WVS either last week or the week before. This is a firm which recruits on a rolling basis so its possible (although I cannot say whether this is actually the case) that they have already...

    Whilst I don't know the exact statistics on number of applications vs number of trainees in each location, I believe (from anecdotal experience) that more and more people are applying to their London vac schemes / TC's, meanwhile they recruit a very small number of trainees into London.

    Since some people here have had HSF AC invites already, are we assuming that anyone who hasn’t is PFO? Or does HSF send out invites in batches?

    Importance of modular grades (non law graduate) for VS for US/MC?
