Anyone still waiting for a VI invite from BM after the SJT?

 

[radssss]

Has anyone applied for the 12 months Disney graduate legal internship (the one posted on 21 May which closed yesterday) and knows if the online assessment is automatic?

 

[hopeful33]

Hi! Anyone know how long Sullivan & Cromwell's cover letter should be? it doesn't say on their recruitment page

 

[FutureAntitrustLawyer]

Hi all, does anyone know when BCLP will tell you whether you have passed or failed the online assessment?

 

[cooked2000]

If you're successful with PH DTC, do they wait till sept to let you know? Why do they leave it till the very end of the cycle ?

I think they have two int rounds (July and Aug), so that’s probs why TC offers go out in Sept. The app deadline is June 30 and non rolling iirc.​

I think its automatic. I applied

 

[TC??!]

Still hoping to hear back from Withers after the first interview

Got a rejection from CRS after being on their reserve list for the ACs for the direct training route

 

[Bridget1130]

When do we reckon we will hear back from Irwin Mitchell?

I submitted the Reed Smith SJT almost 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back ever since. Also, no news from Baker McKenzie post-app at all. 6th cycle. Should I be worried or just move on?

For RS I wouldn't be worried for now. They are rolling but their deadline is today and seeing how people have received their tests this week, itll probably take a bit of time.

Anyone heard anything from Bakers post-vi? Their ACs are usuallt first 2 weeks of June which is literally starting next week…

 

[SueD]

Just got my RS amberjack report - 3 in grit and 3 in creative force!! Oh dear. On the upside got 7 in digital mindset and 9 in applied intellect. Top band verbal intellect and mid for numerical intellect - bit of a surprise as I did maths A level! Have only done 1 amberjack before but no clue how I’d change what I did to improve my scores if I got another one. I miss Watson Glasser… Application questions stage looking v unlikely!!

Nope. But I think it said they’ll get back to us within 2 weeks of completing the test, so depending on when you did it, it might still take a moment.

 

[amb303]

Has anyone heard back yet after the KN written exercise?

 

[HasRez]

Is anybody waiting for a reply from WFW?

An actual interviewing machine at this point!

I hope you take some time to rest over the weekend - you've definitely earned it!

 

[swagata]

My track record with VIs is not pretty but WFW’s VI was the first VI I got through this cycle so don’t count yourself out. Best of luck with it!
