Has anyone done an AC with Pinsent Masons? Any tips would be appreciated!

Hi there, I did a remote one last week so can offer some advice on the interview section if that's helpful. PM me if so

Has anyone heard back from Baker McKenzie for summer VS? They sent an email saying we should hear back by 30th jan but that is tomorrow and I’ve still not heard

I've done the vid interview. Got the invite 7 days ago.

Am I correct in thinking the BM video interview has a structure of 45 second countdown to think/prepare and then 90 seconds to record?

Just got a rejection from NRF for the Spring vac scheme, post-application, pre-test. Also had a HL rejection a little while back, and was rejected from HSF after the test (which I did on Christmas day!) Still waiting to hear back from three other firms now... really not very motivating

 

[juswantavacscheme]

anyone done a Simmons AC this year?

 

[tractor12]

Just received an email from NRF telling me they have filled all their places. Frustrating because I initially applied for Winter and got the same response.

Has anyone heard from Clyde & Co post AC for spring vac scheme? Had mine over two weeks ago now...

All I can say is everyone on this forum knows exactly how you’re feeling and everyone, myself included, would tell you to keep going.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to people who have progressed further to get insight into what they did well and how you can improve. Lots of virtual hugs

 

[tractor12]

Me too !
Good luck with your other applications!

Rejection from Mishcon

Sorry to hear! Do you mind me asking when you both applied?

 

[sarah96]

Anyone waiting to hear back from the following?
Slaughter and May (post app)
Dac (post VI)
Hogan Lovells (post WG)

 

[nyasha]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has heard back from Reed Smith after submitting the research questions for the Summer VS? thanks!
