How long did it take you to hear back from the Immersive Online Assessment? Their website suggests it takes a few days to find out if you passed or not, then two weeks or so if they decide to progress your application, whereas I got an immediate rejection the moment I refreshed the page!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any general advice. I’m applying to winter vacation schemes - rolling - and I have done my cover letters but I am waiting for them to be reviewed however I can’t get them reviewed until Thursday. I’m nervous that because they’re rolling, the places will be filled up if I waited another five more days to submit. Any advice would be appreciated

Some firms say they review on a rolling basis to relieve the workload so they aren't faced with hundreds of applications to go through when deadlines close, but don't actually allocate AC positions until after the deadline
I shouldn't think waiting five days will make a difference, as the firm will invite you to an AC if they like your application rather than when you submitted it! Plus after having it reviewed on Thursday you may get some feedback on something you missed/could amend, so better to wait to submit it when you know it's been checked
got rejected from HL 1 day after doing the WG
yeah it returns you to the normal Freshfields application page instead of the graduate one.
Just leave that page it re directs you to and go to the graduate one (through clicking apply now etc)
Yes - look under ‘Join us’ https://www.whitecase.com/careers/locations/united-kingdom/students#ready-to-apply
Thanks so Much!Some firms say they review on a rolling basis to relieve the workload so they aren't faced with hundreds of applications to go through when deadlines close, but don't actually allocate AC positions until after the deadline

Has anyone applied to Stephenson harwood for the winter scheme? Have I made a mistake or is there only 3 questions in the whole application form & no cover letter?
I received the progression email roughly a week after completing the Immersive Online Assessment
Hi everyone! I just wanted to share some positive news. I’m happy to say that I have accepted a TC offer from Latham after 37 applications and 14 assessment centres over the course of 4 cycles!
I think the thing that changed the most for me this year was my approach to interviews - previously I treated interviews quite formally but this cycle I really tried to drive the interview towards my own interests and make them more conversational (as the interviewers are really there to assess whether they’d like to work with you). This led to some very interesting conversations about personal aspects of my application that had nothing to do with commercial law! I also found it really helpful to come up with questions specific to the interviewers in advance which led to further conversations and ensured that interviews ended on a positive note.
I want to thank everyone for being so supportive on the forum - I have learnt so much over the past year from the people here and from using all the member resources! To everyone who is still applying and unsure about whether to continue making applications, please don’t give up as you can only improve each time! And if anyone needs any advice, please do get in touch!

Hi, I have an upcoming video interview for Watson Farley & Williams, does anyone have any tips for timing/how I should prepare ect?
Rejection from TLT. Not surprised because it was for a TC and I haven’t done any work experience yet. Do you think it’s still a good idea to apply for their vac scheme in this new cycle?
