Not for Latham as they're non-rolling!

Any news from Sidley? Have applied in Dec Cheers

Rejection from BCLP earlier today, bit disappointed as I reached ac last year and really like the firm but it wasn’t meant to be. On to the next! Hope those still waiting receive better news

Bad luck, hopefully you'll have better news from other apps! Do you mind sharing when you applied as waiting to hear back!

Through to VI with Baker McKenzie. Has anyone sat it yet? What questions did you get asked?

 

[Legal_rawn]

Has anyone had any experience of an assessment centre with deloitte? or any tips?

 

[Ricky]

Grad rec sent this over to look at for tips for those doing Baker McKenzie's VI

Isn’t their TC like a fairly new thing, I doubt anyone would have experience

It was for a vac scheme not the TC sorry for not mentioning!

I somehow managed to complete the real logical reasoning test rather than the practice one for Simmons. I logged onto Korn Ferry's website to complete the practice one on a new tab and when I logged on to complete the actual test on Simmon's site, it said it was already completed Has anyone got any tips on what I should do? I didn't get a warning that it would be the real test nor did I agree to take the actual test.

Not sure if it's the same situation exactly but this happened with my CC app. I specifically clicked on practice, did the practice and then when I went to click on actual one it said completed. What I did was try to find the practice one again and if it has very similar/the same questions as you remember from your test then perhaps it was a glitch. So I contacted grad rec at CC and they gave me a new link.

That’s okay, I wish I could be of more help

Thank you so much. I just contacted Simmons, let's hope it was a glitch and I can complete the actual test.

I put my app in for Mischon on the 30th November and still haven't heard anything back - I know some people have been invited to VI should I be worried? Anyone still not heard back?

I've been lurking this thread for so long, thought I'd join in now. Been receiving rejections left, right and centre- but such is life.

Good luck to everyone applying this season. You only need one to go your way so don't give up.

I applied 22/11 and invited to VI 3/12 but haven’t heard back from VI, so I’m also not sure if I should be worried. One of my friends applied 10/12 and hasn’t heard anything either.

Good luck to you, too! I'm sure your TC offer is somewhere there, you might have only just officially join us, but I think I speak for everyone when I say that we are all rooting for you!

Does anyone know what % of people are offered TCs from a VS? I know it will vary lots between firms - but if anyone has any ballpark figures - or even better some actual facts from specific firms, that would be great

For anyone who has completed the CMS video interview, how long did it take for them to come back to you with an outcome? I submitted mine on the 20th of December.
