Any heard anything from Clyde &co?

Just got an email today saying "we will be in touch soon regarding the outcome of your assessment"

omg congrats!! if you don't mind me asking, did you apply for Spring or Summer and when did you hear back about your SJT?

 

[F99]

Since people are starting to hear about A&O direct TCs, do you think VS applicants will start hearing soon as well?

Does anyone know how long after sending the initial WG invite email Bakers send the actual link to the test? I got an invite yesterday and it said details would be sent in a few days but I’m wondering if anyone could let me know how long it took for them to receive these details?

I received the invite on the 14th and was sent the test link on the 17th

Anyone still waiting to hear from A&O for a direct TC 2024?

Yes, me!

 

[SebKru10]

Anyone's heard back from Mishcon?

 

[TJ370]

Anyone heard back from Slaughter’s summer?

 

[M777]

For anyone who has done Weil AC, just wondered if you had any advice on how to prepare? Any useful articles I can read to research rivate equity, Weil's global strategy etc?

Still haven't heard back from Slaughters for Summer VS. Interviews are meant to start next week, and all my friends have either been rejected or invited to interview. Not sure what to do. How common is it for an application to slip through and be forgotten about?

I also haven't heard back. I applied close to the deadline, so I am expecting my application to be read later in the process. I am assuming that they will keep spots for interviews in the later end of the interview-window.

Probably no more updates until Wednesday now right?

 

[Imababysolicitor]

Has anyone done the gowling vi yet and can provide any insight?

I was thinking maybe even till the 3rd of Jan since new year starts on the weekend😂 but yeah Wednesday seems like the most accurate. Like someone said earlier though, cant complain about a much needed break!

Hi everyone
Just a question about the 'what's a recent news article that interests you and how will it impact the firm' question.
Is it ok to talk about something the firm is involved in i.e their client is one of the parties concerned. I know it's a bit risky but it is something I'm genuinely interested in.

I was wondering if BCLP's test is automatic or not? thanks!!

I'm also wondering the same! Have you found out?

 

[bibss]

You will get there, I promise. With every application you’re approving and it will all pay off I’m sure. Your time will come ❤️

Thank you for your kind words ❤️ Processed my rejection and ready to work on more apps 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻

Regarding a “recent commercial deal”, how recent would you say is recent and what do you think would be considered too far back/irrelevant!

Regarding a “recent commercial deal”, how recent would you say is recent and what do you think would be considered too far back/irrelevant!

I'd say 6-12 months max!

 

[Sfernan21]

DLA Piper updated today, such a Christmas tease... probably won't hear for a week or so!

Ideally the last 12 months. You can pick "slow burn" topics if appropriate that may have started more than 12 months ago, but there just needs to be some recent updates/changes to the story.
