It is only too late on the 1st of Feb.
Has anyone heard back post-WG recently for Freshfields Summer VS? Separately, does anyone know when Slaughters usually get back to you following a Summer VS interview?
I was told by Grad Rec it could be around mid-Feb! Hang tight!Does anyone know when we should expect to hear back from Pinsents? Deadline was the 7th December and no one's heard anything
There’s a series on youtube that goes thru each type of question and explains why they give each type of answer. I found it really useful to sit down with that and write out exactly what i think the videos were explaining (why yes/no/more info needed etc) and then go to a practice paper and sit there and add its explain to my sheet. Then I worked thru the Freshfields practice paper a few times, making note of my answer each time and try and figure out what I got wrong and why. My first practice test I got around 40% but the actual WG I took for Linklaters I got 85%
Can I ask how long it took Baker to get back to you after the WG? Hope you’ve heard back after the VI btw!
Has anyone done the interview with Bates Wells? Got mine next week and wondering if I should be preparing in any particular way
I also got the Mishcon case study! Would really appreciate any advice
Also, I just wanted to say that it can be disheartening to read that people are receiving ACs, but you literally never know what's around the corner. On Monday I was feeling so disheartened and negative about the whole process that I even shed a tear! It can be hard to keep believing you have what it takes, especially when so little feedback is given for apps and luck plays such a huge part... but it really does only take one firm to say yes! I'm super nervous for upcoming ACs so am going to try my best to keep that in mind myself - if it's not these ones, then it'll be the next. Reading responses on this forum has been so instrumental in keeping my spirits up, so thank you guys!

Congrats on reaching the interview stage! I'm still waiting on a response to my application.. How long did they take to get back to you?
They were very quick. They gave me the WG before the deadline and then the video interview invite a couple weeks later
Haven’t heard from clydes I applied 21st Decemberhas anyone heard from Clydes, AG or Eversheds for the manchester offices?
Well done to everyone smashing it with ACs and interviews at the moment btw, it’s great to see
I applied on the 2nd of Jan and I still haven't heard back.
Best of luck with the interview!
I wouldn't worry!!! I applied to them VERY early, I'd say it took them at least a month for them to give me the WG. They're probably inundated with apps right now!
Still haven’t heard from mishcon post app and Dentons post WG (applied for both close to the deadline and Dentons extended my deadline for WG too because of my circumstances). Should I email recruitment to chase these or no?? I got open days for both firms so have been feeling quite hopeful and don’t want my late applications to let me down
Those of you who have had heard back from Eversheds or Mishcon post app form, when did you apply?
I applied to Mishcon end of October or beginning of November. I applied to Eversheds on the deadline and got a rejection last week!
