Let’s all just time travel back to the 1990s/2000s when all it took was a phone call and interview and boom the TC was all yours… :) Oh, but then we wouldn’t have the shiny £150k+ NQ salaries that draw us to apply to US/MC firms in the first place… Oh well that’s a minor. I’d rather that than...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I read somewhere on here a few weeks ago that HSFK review apps in phases so there’s an initial review by junior grad rec and apps are filtered. All the remaining apps are then screened by the senior grad rec team who decide who goes to AC. So not hearing back yet can only mean good news esp cos...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

It might be they take 12 to 15 on the scheme but shortlist 6 to 8 for a post VS interview? I believe some firms with smaller intakes do that but idk for sure cos I didn’t end up applying to Winston.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I think their process after the app is WG -> AC or interview -> VS. I’m sure Orrick is the same too. https://www.allaboutlaw.co.uk/winston-strawn/application-process https://www.allaboutlaw.co.uk/orrick-herrington-sutcliffe-uk-llp/application-process- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
