First Year Open Days/Insight Schemes 2021/2022

[tealzeal]

Thanks. Sorry if it’s a stupid question but does “18th percentile” mean you have to do better than 82% of applicants? As in top 18th percentile?

nw it's not a stupid question! i didn't get it the first time either, haha. 18th percentile means you did better than 18% of applicant, which seems like a pretty low bar but i think it's because hogan will only review at your application if you pass their wg

Has anyone heard back post interview from Macfarlanes?

 

[kokothemagicdragon]

Anyone know how long it takes Hogan Lovells to let you know if you have an interview after the WG test? Good luck to everyone who applied!

Hey, I had my Linklaters interview for pathfinders yesterday (9th March) and the interviewer said I'll get an email regarding the outcome in about 1 week.

Yeah sure! I did the capp assessment on 10th Feb and the wg on 15th Feb. My application was on hold while they reviewed my scores from the 15th to 28th Feb, which was when I got the interview invite.

 

[Silphe]

Ah that's basically what I did and i haven't heard yet, guess it's a no then : /

 

[Bubbles]

Guess it's a no from linklaters, haven't even heard back for an interview yet lol

 

[Bubbles]

I finally got accepted on an open day for Eversheds Sutherland (this came after 14 rejections). Granted it's online but I'm so glad 🙏

 

[tealzeal]

does anyone know if the vinson & elkins open day is in person? they ask about your dietary preferences on the rsvp form so i guess it is, but i'd just like a confirmation

Is anybody still on hold at Linklaters? It's been quite a while now since I applied and I'm a bit concerned that I haven't had any sort of response.

Likewise, has anyone heard back from Freshfields?

Hey for both linklaters and freshfields I have not had any response for a while. Hoping to hear soon though....

I'm wondering at this point whether it's worth contacting them? Linklaters at least had a test, they must have rejected some people for not meeting the required score.

 

[Stasis]

Please can you let us know what they say if you contact them? Freshfields especially because their scheme is meant to take place in 3 weeks time

I don't want to annoy them, so I may give it a few more days. I do find the lack of contact from Linklaters pretty strange though.

I just emailed them about it, will lyk if they reply

I haven’t heard anything either from Freshfields. I just received a WG invite from Norton Rose Fulbright though…
