    Caveat: depends on the firm - h/e in my experience firms get back to ones they want asap and take a while to reject.

    Hi there, so I have A*AC and I constantly worry about the C - I know it's a bit better than ABC, but it still makes me worry. However, it has never held me back - I've had ACs with Baker McKenzie, A&O, Mayer Brown, King & Spalding and a couple of others and not once did they ask me about it. I...

    Hi there. Sorry to ‘interrupt’ haha, but can you help me with CV cutting? I’m finding it incredibly difficult to cut down my already as-concise-as-possible 2 page CV down to 1. What do you recommend keeping as essential and what do you think can be cut? I’m weary of losing extra curricular s...

    No, if you pass they review the scores with the app to decide whether to invite you to AC

    Hi there. No PowerPoint, it will be a verbal presentation. There will be no time to do a ppt. I recommend you stay calm as they give you loads of info, so try not to be overwhelmed/panicked.

    Hi there, sorry that I can’t answer your question, but I was wondering whether they said anything to you about where they are with applications at your interview?

    I think they responded to me quite promptly - perhaps it was a few days. They told me my percentile and that my application was now under review. As it’s not a priority or urgent request, I would just wait, particularly as you’ve emailed them twice already. Hopefully you’ll hear back soon

    Hi Jessica, thank you so much for explaining that so well. I think I have a much clearer understanding of what firms are looking for now and the reasons why. Thank you again. Previously, I have used the example of the struggle involved in my writing a paper on a subject I am very passionate...

    Hi there. I'm always a bit stumped by the question of 'tell us about an achievement of importance to you' - I never quite know what they are looking for. Is it the impressiveness of the accolade or what you value as an achievement?? A mixture? Something else? Does anyone have any examples they...

    In my experience with White & Case (in which I have never made it past the first stage), I understand they reject everyone all at once at the end of their ACs so many people don't hear anything for some time. As for Sidley, I have no idea what their deal is as I've never applied to them before...

    Has anyone heard from Sidley for Winter VS? I know I submitted my app relatively recently, but as they operate on rolling basis would be keen to know when people start hearing back
