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

[ZH]

Anyone heard back from Reed Smith or BCLP summer scheme yet?

Also, DAC Beachcroft and Gateley.

Thanks.

Hi! Have you heard from bclp yet? I'm still waiting and not sure I'm feeling hopeful at this point...

I haven’t heard anything back yet. I genuinely don’t know how to feel given people have been both rejected and accepted at this point.

Hi Andre
I completed the tests on sunday, got my results on tuesday and still waiting to hear on outcome.
Scored below avg on a few though but the feedback report on the whole is very useful.

Have you heard yet?

Nope - took the test on Sunday and got my results yesterday

I was about to respond to your PM but will reply here as I have had quite a few PMs about this! I think it's not to worry if you haven't heard back. Firstly, you haven't been rejected and that's good!! I think because they are a new team, things may take slightly longer than normal. Also, I think they are focusing on the spring first year schemes, and will sort out summer a little later. I hope you both have good news soon. I know they are interviewing for another month or so too so plenty of AC spots still up for grabs

Has anyone been rejected yet from Slaughter and May? If so, post or pre interview?

Still waiting to hear. Interviewed a couple of weeks ago...

Did you subscribe to Finimize Premium? I've had the app for ages but I've not explored their packs at all as I've been rather busy and getting by with FT articles and Daily Briefing so far

Yep I subscribed just for a month bc it's quite expensive! Basically the finimize daily briefing is exactly what they send out in the newsletter but read out to you which is good if you're commuting etc! The packs on M&A, PE and cryptocurrency are all really good and explain the topic well for beginners so I would highly recommend them too, it's much more approachable than the FT briefing.

Anyone still waiting on BLM post WG?

Has anyone applied for Clyde and co MENA summer vac ?

Holding email from Travers as well! Told should hear back within the next month.

Not holding out much hope for them considering interviews are already ongoing (and I applied way back in October).

Holding email from Travers! Although I don’t have very high hopes- nice email though so I appreciate it

Just received an HSF spring vac scheme AC invite! Seems like they're doing all the spring AC's later than the summer ones, so for those waiting there's still hope!

Anyone hear back from Gibson Dunn? Applied on the 22nd of December and still haven't heard back.

HSF rejection post AC. Don’t know what I keep doing wrong at AC’s but this is honestly so demotivating and tiring
