Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[Lumree]

Anyone heard from BCLP after applying close to the deadline?

 

[Samar]

Assuming that the lack of a Latham summer VI means rejection at the moment?

When did you apply? I only got mine through on Friday night and applied a few days before deadline so they could still be going through them?

 

[Lawyerwithadream]

In relation to Weil, i only did the WG last week, so i think they're still going through things. Taylor Wessing had Assessment centre last week i think, so take that as a rejection

Is the WG for Weil automatic?

Anyone not heard from Bakers at all for summer? Is it safe to assume it's a no if they're already helds AC's and I haven't had a WG invite?

Also, has anyone heard from Reed Smith for summer after submitting the questions? I sent mine before Christmas.

Hi there! I still haven’t heard back from Reed Smith yet

Rejected from PWC!

 

[Long Dinh]

Thanks- was this latham or kirks?

This was for Latham Summer VS!

 

[ComplianceChange]

Rejected from PwC.
However I have been disillusioned with their silly game for some time now. Really lacks the diversity and inclusion they pride themselves on!

I have only just been invited to do the Bakers WG, and the email they sent said the summer AC dates are late February/ March. So there is still time.

I haven’t heard from Latham since I applied which was the 17th of November! Should I email them or is there no point?

Haha it's okay - I knew it was a mess when they sent that report back! Ummm I think it was aroung 8500, BUT I have heard from a few people the score doesn't matter it's just a "fun element" that makes it seem more like a game! I wouldn't worry!

Hahah I'd really like to know how they use the metrics from that game to assess candidates

I got a similar score but I quite enjoyed the game I thought it was quite different. I almost opened the safe I think I was 1/2 numbers away but it was infuriating

 

[JayB]

Yeah it updated yesterday

thanks and when did you apply again?

 

[Legallygrace]
