Has anyone heard from Kingsley Napley post-online assessment, other than the feedback report? According to the email with the dates, the next stage is commencing from today so I was just wondering if that means we should have received an update by today?
Nope, wondered if they'd communicate by 5:30 again and then you have the week to prepare the next stage. Who knows

Anyone know what percentage (I.e is it worth apply DTC to them) these firms take from their DTC:
- BCLP
- Dentons
- Paul Hastings
- White and Case
- Macfarlanes
- Stephenson harwood
- Sullivan cromwell
- K&L gates
I think Paul Hastings is 100% DTC. They have a SVS (Phirst Steps) but I don’t believe it leads to a TC offer like a normal VS would. 🥲

Macfarlanes and SH are around 50%. White & Case is 20%. I think BCLP is similar, but most of their offers go to VS’ers. 😅

Not too sure about S&C or K&L. I think it would always be worthwhile to apply for DTC at any firm tbh. Best of luck with them all! 😀​
