Does anyone know how much time is given for answering the Dechert VI questions?

1 min

I haven't heard from Bird & Bird since submitting my application on 28/10. Should I follow up? The deadline for Summer VS is 15/12.

neither, have emailed grad rec twice and they keep saying just be patient. I am treating it as PFO though

I need some advice on this issue. I submitted my A&O summer VS application yesterday at 10 PM and emailed them today about not receiving the SJT test link. They emailed me today evening at 6ish that they sent me the test link but I have yet to receive it. Should I email them again tomorrow if I do not receive the link to the test by 12ish lunchtime tomorrow as the test needs to be completed before the deadline which is tomorrow night. What should I do and what will happen if I do not receive the test link before the deadline.

Have you received other emails from A&O about your application? And if so, have you checked your junk mail? Have you also done the test before (in a previous cycle)?

No, I have not received other emails from A&O just the email when I emailed them today about the SJT test. Yes, I have checked my junk email there is nothing there and I searched in my email also no email. No, it is my first time applying for A&O.

Sorry to hear this mate! May I ask when you applied?

really sorry to hear, what was it for if you don't mind me asking?

summer vacation scheme

 

[Aspiring Solicitor 007]

The main way I ordered my work experience was simply by reverse chronology. That also happened to involve having my legal work experience (vac schemes) up top, just because I was in the midst of an application cycle and so that was all I was doing work-wise. Nevertheless, I quite like having legal work experience at the top because if firms see one thing, they will see that

Thanks James, that's very helpful
