    Is it harder to get a VS/TC at the Magic Circle or the Elite US firms?

    Is it statistically harder to get a VS/TC at say Clifford Chance or Slaughter and May than it is at the very best US firms in London, like Latham & Watkins or Weil? Does one type of firm tend to attract more talented individuals?

    Slaughter and May Training Contract Application 2022

    I literally have feedback from grad rec saying my point of view was wrong.... no.. it was a matter of opinion. They just say that to make people more relaxed, and I am sure on the whole they are level headed. But, with respect, my point isn't unfounded.

    Slaughter and May Training Contract Application 2022

    I think something to say about an interview at Slaughters, is that it really really really depends on the partner interviewing you. Sure, this is true for other firms, but Slaughters seem to place a huge amount of emphasis on whether they get along with the candidate. Not all people will get...

    Did it this morning. I found it a bit of a mixed bag. Some questions were good and some were hard. How did you find it?

    Sidley Austin Open Day

    Actually have another question. How far in advance of the open day did you receive your offer? I still haven't heard back from them

    Kirkland & Ellis Open Day

    Ah fair enough then! :) I even had my Open Day application checked by someone who has a VS there... and she thought it was good so :( Genuinely shouldn't worry us

    Kirkland & Ellis Open Day

    Maybe because it's meant to be for first years, they thought we were too far into our research of Legal careers..

    Sidley Austin Open Day

    Oh I see! I've had another firm cancel their open day due to the spread of coronavirus. How was the VE open day? Is it worth going to? I think I've probably applied to most of the ones that you went on. Are any worth a miss/ or are any particularly good?

    Sidley Austin Open Day

    By virtue of you saying that there were not many of you there, I'm guessing it's a hard one to get? Do you remember how many weeks warning you were given of the outcome of your application? Oh also, whilst you're here lol. Did you go to the Vinson & Elkins open day?

    Kirkland & Ellis Open Day

    I think that's a really good point to keep in mind! Thanks for highlighting that. Equally said, just because, such as myself, you have vac schemes at prestigious firms, and have been accepted on other open days etc, doesn't necessarily mean you will get all of them.

    Kirkland & Ellis Open Day

    So I didn't get a response to my email, however I received a rejection for the open day from them, today! I guess they didn't like being prompted to reply. I actually find this really funny. Rejected from an open day, yay me :eek::D

    Kirkland & Ellis Open Day

    Hey thanks for another helpful reply. Unfortunately for my university I need more than a few days notice, so I can move tutorials and arrange my workload etc. Another issue is that I actually can't remember or find anywhere the exact date of the open day. But I can't really ask them what day I...

    Kirkland & Ellis Open Day

    I still haven't heard anything. Is it considered bad form to email to check out if I have been rejected/accepted etc?

    Latham & Watkins Open Day

    Ah thanks! They may well have done, who knows. My application was for the March one and not heard anything. I would be surprised if I didn't get it to be honest.
