Anyone heard anything from BCLP post SJT?

This might be a stupid questions but has anyone gotten in trouble for screenshotting their online test? I typically do so just so I can go over my answers after but I saw on a recent cappfinity test that it violates their integrity code. Should I reach out to the firm and let them know that I wasn’t aware and have deleted them? Sorry for the stupid question

Hi all, anyone heard anything from Reed Smith (Post VI), RPC, White and Case, and MacFarlanes?

I think W&C is non-rolling for the DTC and their deadline is Sunday (13th July). I imagine they’ll invite candidates to DTC ACs in late July and August. Best of luck with your application to W&C and the other firms listed! 😅​

Does anyone know if RS reviews the application form, SJT and VI all together or just the SJT and VI in deciding who to invite to AC?

Feeling like an incoming PFO with the score and mediocre VI response

I have tagged @ReedSmithBecca here to help.

Has anyone heard from Perkins Coie re the LBA program?

Hi! Just been invited to the Reed Smith VI. Please DM me if you have any tips please! This is the last app of the year for me so it means a lot. Thank you x

 

[pleasepleaseplease]

if anyone has any tips on RS VI, please let me know. I would be very very grateful, it is my last hope

read up on how to behave in group exercises (hint: listen, support others, don't show off your own abilities).

otherwise just preparing for a strong answer on "why do you want to work here?"

Is the Reed Smith test/VI pretty much automatic if you meet their minimum requirements as I don’t think anyone has got a PFO?

 

[BillSikes]

Hey guys, anyone heard back from Watson Farley & Williams? I knew they were reviewing apps on a rolling basis but because of uni and personal stuff I could only submit it on the deadline. Received 2 PFOs in the last week so I wanna know if I should anticipate another one, thanks!

Applied deadline, heard nothing yet. Would not worry about rolling basis myself.

 

[legallady123]

Anyone who did the Morgan Lewis TI want to discuss how it went?

 

[LawfullyHopeful]

Just received a Reed Smith test and VI - any advice would be greatly appreciated? 🥳

People received PFOs post-app in this forum

Can anyone help with the timeline for RS because I was under the impression if you were successful you would be starting the SQE this August? Did people understand that the same way?

🥲🫠 I would like to assume they screened written applications first.
