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

[Biena]

Hiya!

Does anyone have an AC with Simmons coming up? Or anyone pending post-VI hear backs?

I did my VI just at the end of December and still haven’t heard anything for direct TC.

I know someone with an AC at Simmons next week! Also know a couple who had ACs at Simmons this week that has just gone. Hope that helps!

 

[Jay-Lo]

Has anyone received a rejection from Hogan Lovells, also if you failed to meet their benchmark wouldn’t they have rejected immediately?

I haven’t heard either!

 

[Jay-Lo]

Is anyone still waiting from White & Case (spring scheme)?

 

[JayB]

Is anyone still waiting from White & Case (spring scheme)?

[bzheng]

is anyone able to provide any insight into the simmons VI?

 

[Ausgrad]

Going to piggyback off of this and say I’m also happy to help anyone with a Links AC coming up as I was successful!

Biena, sent you a PM!

 

[Asmee DC]

If you got rejected after testing for VS, are you still able to apply for a TC afterwards? Or do I have to wait for the next cycle?

Hey, I did it for the winter scheme, feel free to message!

 

[AH9891]

If you got rejected after testing for VS, are you still able to apply for a TC afterwards? Or do I have to wait for the next cycle?

I suppose it depends on the firm, but for most you will have to wait until next cycle as you’re limited to one application overall

reminded me of situational judgment questions:

 

[DavidJC]

Finally found time to do the Mayer Brown tests and goodness that sure took awhile

How long? And are they timed? Planning on doing them tomorrow. And did you prepare for it?

 

[skizzle]

Hey I sent you a PM about Macfarlanes, thanks!!

Also, if anyone wants any AC advice on the below, let me know:

Travers Smith - Summer VS
Linklaters - TC
Macfarlanes - TC
Clifford Chance - TC

 

[FutureCity]

Some people have already been offered Summer VS’s from BCLP, and I haven’t heard back for anything.

Be it a rejection or AC invite. I applied in late November. This is actually ridiculous.

I emailed about two weeks ago, they said they had received a lot of applications.

Does anyone have advice for the CMS video interview?

I'm still waiting too, to the extent that I sometimes forget about that application...lol

 

[DavidJC]

How long? And are they timed? Planning on doing them tomorrow. And did you prepare for it?

They've suggested 45 mins for the SST and 50 mins for the VRT, I think I spent total about 1 hour 15 minutes?
I didn't really prepare for it, the SST is the same as any other and I just treated the VRT like the LNAT, essentially a comprehension and critical thinking test.

 

[Kate]

May I ask regarding White & Case was this for spring or summer? And when did you apply?

This was for the summer. I applied in December Just got a rejection following the video interview this week.
