Hey guys, any tips for Linklaters AC for summer vac scheme?

 

[MzM]

Just been invited to a first round interview with Gibson Dunn! It’s been a good 24 hours

Congrats!! May I ask when you applied?

Does anyone else overthink a lot after an AC/interview? Had one today and thought it went well but starting to think about anything that could have gone wrong

I really relate this! I left one feeling very positive, aware of a few things that I’d like to change if I did it again. Hours later..days later... pulling apart of everything in my head hahaha

How long do you expect to wait before hearing back?

Congrats!! May I ask when you applied?

I applied in October but they've only been reviewing apps following the December open day! I also think that they're only responding to people who are available to interview at certain times i.e. there's a section on the form at the beginning that asks you to list dates you're not available to interview and I'd forgotten I'd said I wasn't available to interview in January due to exams so if you haven't heard back yet that might be why!

 

[Daniel Boden]

You are smashing it!!!

Congrats my friend, may the good news continue to flow

Thank you both! Best of luck with all of your apps

Is anyone else still waiting from Mayer Brown post tests? Getting a bit worried I’ve missed the chance now AC’s are being dished out...

In the course of the last 24 hours:

- I had a VI and at some point I had a cough fit which took over 15 second from my answer and I kept on sneezing throughout the rest of the interview. So, apparently having an interview when you're sick is not the best idea, kids.

- I got a rejection following an application that I spent hours on and then received an AC invite for the one that took me 30min to write.

- I spilled coffee on my light grey carpet and I have been googling how to get rid of stains ever since. The stain is still there, nothing works. I am planning on moving the furniture around and passing this burden to the next tenant. #oops

Life can be quite funny sometimes.

Well done!!

Has anyone heard back from SPB post-VI? Or have any idea as to when we may hear?

 

[JayB]

Who’s still waiting on DLA Piper?

edit: a rumour has been going around that DLA have completed all their AC’s? Is this true, has anyone asked GR about this. I’ve emailed them, but they haven’t responded!

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone had got to the research question stage for Reed Smith? Is this the final stage before interview?

Thanks in advance!
