For those who have completed the Mayer Brown tests, how long did it take to receive your report?

Any tips for the Mayer Brown test? Is it automatic?

I have seen someone who secured a summer vacation scheme with DLA, does that mean it is a PFO for everyone waiting. I didn't hear anything after the first stage

I believe they go through ex first year schemers and brand ambassadors first so that person may have been one of those?

Technically yes, although I would try to apply within working hours just in case you have any technical problems and need to contact them.

Should be with spaces.

Breaking news

I am attending Skadden Open day and the GRM is only mentioning transferable skills and that you do not need legal experience to get a TC.

Anyone have a rough idea on when HSF will get back to spring scheme applicants?

 

[aspiringlawgrad20]

Has anyone heard from Shearman post interview?

 

[law12]

I know it varies for each firm, but does anyone know how long on average it takes to hear back after a vac scheme interview?

After deadline.

In my experience, it takes about 2 weeks! Some firms can be much faster - I think it depends largely on the number of interviews held and whether the firm operates a rolling or non rolling recruitment process.

Hope you get some good news soon!

Can be anything between a couple of hours and a couple of weeks.
