I think they had their last direct TC AC today.

My friend just got an offer an hour ago.

Was this someone who did the AC this morning?

BM WG invite

Hey, same!

Does anyone know if the VI invite is automatic post-WG, dependant on your WG result, or if your app if reviewed further?

Thanks in advance

https://uk-graduates.bakermckenzie.com/support/application-process/ This says that you get the VI upon the successful completion of the WG, so most probably they have a percentile threshold. Unlikely that the app gets reviewed after the WG since their website says that they do the initial screening before sending you the WG

Any idea if Bakers has a high percentile threshold?

Anyone still waiting on BM? And for people who have received the WG, how long did the firm take to send you the test?

I applied on the deadline and am still waiting. they said they are sending invites until around mid April, which to me translates as today being the cut-off

 

[turtlebrownrice]

anyone heard from king & spalding

 

[S87]

Has anyone applied to K&L Gates and made it to the AC?

 

[bella98]

Anyone interviewed at Accutrainee?

 

[aishaslm]

Anyone interviewed at Accutrainee?

Can Penultimate year students apply for accutrainee positions?

 

[smfc]

Anyone heard back from Bristows post final interview?

I got the TC offer two weeks ago, I know that others have received a rejection so they are probably still deliberating

 

[adafdadfadfafdaf]

Anyone applying to winckworth sherwood ??

 

[bella98]

Can Penultimate year students apply for accutrainee positions?

Yes!

 

[spamelinazoid]

Has anyone received anything from Baker today or yesterday? They're being very quiet and I wonder if it's because it's their VS right now and it ends next week (makes me wonder if they'll make us wait until after that is over for WG or even VI invites)

I think they sent some WG invites yesterday, but not the actual test yet!

Hogan Lovells Training Contract offer received today, insanely happy and the perfect news before the weekend

This is amazing news - congratulations!

If you have a TC secured and the SQE is fully funded by your company, do you get put into a special SQE class with just your trainee intake from your firm? And would the start/end dates of your course be specific to your firm?

It seems that the LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) is just over 13 months and runs Sep - Nov. But the firm describes it as being August to August. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this?
