Does anyone know how long it takes Latham to get back after VI?

They mentioned within two weeks after the VI (if you didn't take this into account)

Anyone received Orrick exercise before and can PM me? Will return favour with other interview tips

Has anyone got any tips for explaining a lower grade. I got 58 in EU law in 2nd year and this is my lowest grade to date, I didn't particularly do anything different I just found EU law quite technical and tricky and did not enjoy it as much

Only a few firms will ask you to explain, Stephenson Harwood is one that'll ask you!

Has anyone recieved a NRF PFO? Only seen a few WG tests in here

Also sorry for yet another Macfarlanes post but how long should I expect to wait to hear back. Someone before said within two weeks but I applied on the 22nd July with no response yet. I guess I'm just impatient, but I'm just wondering if I should expect a PFO

They’re non-rolling now so I imagine you’ll need to wait until at least 2 weeks post deadline. They run 10-13 assessments days and I think continue quite late into August.

I got an AC invite last week and when I booked there were about 5 or so AC dates so they will probably invite more soon

Okie thank you! Just wondering why there hasn't been a PFO yet as it does seem like the ACs will be filled out

Those who have done Denton's TC AC, how long did you wait until you heard back? Pretty sure grad rec said a week, but it's coming up to two weeks with no word

Does anyone have any guidance for the Stephenson Harwood case study? Any help would be greatly appreciated

How long after Farrer & Co first interviews for direct TC did people hear back about next steps?

 

[Adrian_S]

How long after Farrer & Co first interviews for direct TC did people hear back about next steps?

Heard back within 3 hours with an invitation for the next interview. Quite unusual, as I’ve never heard back so quickly from a firm before. Hope you hear good news soon

 

[JadeWadey01]

Is anyone else also still waiting to hear back from Harbottle & Lewis?
