I think so! I could be wrong but I think it is new this year and is the only test they are doing

cheers pal!

 

[MS2000]

Did anyone else on here apply to Northridge Law?

Really curious to know if we can re-record the VI for V&E this year - has anyone tried yet?

I’m also curious! But it means one of us taking the plunge first which I doubt anyone is willing to do 😝

If people have received their VI invite for Reed Smith post research questions yesterday, is it likely that it's a PFO if you haven't received this?

Is the VI the next stage? I thought some people said they received assessment centre invite after being successful at the research question stage.

Just email GR?

I think they mean live video interview - an AC.

Thanks! I was a bit confused haha

As Reed Smith is still open and I was a campus ambassador last year, do you guys reckon its worth shooting off a quick application? Dont want to waste time if there is no chance but I like the firm!

 

[anon32323232]

Congrats!! May I ask when you completed your AC?

Thanks! my AC was Jan 19th (monday?), one of the earlier ones i think.

Hi have you been invited to VI with Vinson? When did you apply and when did you hear back? Thanks.

Yeah, I applied 6th Jan and heard back yesterday

 

[CJCH]

Anyone still waiting to hear back from Mishcon post-app? I applied close to the deadline (31 Dec), should I email the GR to check?

Definitely, they're only just getting back to people in relation to the Spring Vac... Summer Vac deadline is 31st March so definitely apply!

I am a graduate and am not available for Reed Smith's Spring VS (which is the one I'm eligible for). The Summer VS is aimed at undergrads, but do you think it's worth contacting them to see whether they would still consider my application?

I wonder in what order they are going through the apps, I applied in early November

When you are waiting to hear back from two law firms and you get a call - only for it to be about a home delivery.

I'm also still waiting to hear back. Last year I wasn't invited to VI until 5/6 weeks after submitting my app, so they might just be taking their time. Hope we hear good news soon

i'm in the same situation! if you contact them would you let me know the outcome (I also don't mind emailing)

Or "I'm just calling with regards to a car accident you were in recently..."

Do most people get sent the research questions for Reed Smith?

If you applied for the Summer VS I don't believe they've got back to anyone yet. I know I'm still waiting anyway!
