Hello, does anyone know if there is a way to expedite the process of getting graduate recruitment to move my start date forward? I have had conversations with them regarding this matter and was told that as they were expanding their intake sizes this was a possibility. However, they were still asking future trainees from last year if they wanted this start date and giving priority to them first. As this was around two months ago, should I follow up with an email or just wait, and if waiting, how long for? TIA

I think if two months has passed then it is ok for you to check in. I wouldn’t expect them to make or be able to make a decision, but there is no harm in at least enquiring.

Post VI? Nope really think it’s a rejection, just wish they would send it through

If you're comfortable disclosing, could I ask how long did it take to receive BCLP's PFO? I'm still waiting after completing the test on 15 June. Thanks!

I don't remember exactly but I don't think it was that long! Less than a week for sure.

In the same boat! I once emailed graduate recruitment and they replied almost two months later so we might have to be waiting a while

Hi, I got the same. It's not correct, I emailed grad rec and they said that it was a mistake and interviews for successful applicants will be in August.

Has anyone completed the Watson Farley video interview for direct TC? If so, what kind of questions did they ask and how long do you get to answer each q's ?

 

[samni]

Anyone know if Weil and Orrick WG invites are automatic? Got both and was just wondering…

Congratulations! Can I ask when you applied to Weil?

Does anyone have experience with SH’s Video Interview? Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Had anyone heard back from Penningtons Manches Cooper?

I haven’t, although I submitted my application on 30 July, the day before the deadline
