How long does BCLP take to respond post AC?

They aim to get back within a week they say, I heard within 4 days.

PWC LEGAL - SUMMER LEGAL INTERNSHIP UPDATE

Though you have passed the Video Interview, you have unfortunately not met the benchmarks in order to progress to the next stage of assessment. It is therefore with regret that we confirm you will not be progress to the Career Focus Day and that your application is being declined.

- does this mean my application was considered as a whole then rejected eventhough I passed all the stages to reach the Video Interview?

All the best to anyone who made it to the AC♥️

Still waiting on Travers

@Jessica Booker is it worth emailing a firm who hasn't given you an offer yet that you have clashing offers elsewhere ? thanks

What stage are you at with the firm you want to email? And would you renege the other firms if you were to be offered at the firm you are emailing?

Nothing yet from Charles Russell Speechlys, right?

Anyone eligible to start a TC this year - L&W has just opened Direct TC for 2022 & 23

Interesting. Do you think it’s worth applying for their direct TC if you’ve been rejected for their VS post-app in the same the cycle? @Jessica Booker

I completed the AC at the firm I wanted to email. I haven't accepted the other offers yet; I want to make an informed decision

the portal did not let me

Have Sidley VS AC and Kirkland TC AC coming up - if anyone has experience with either I would really appreciate any and all advice

Congrats - when did K&E open for their direct TCs? I thought their website only had VS for spring and summer

They make it clear on their website and on their portal that you are not allowed to apply to their TC or any other vacancies if you have been rejected in the same recruitment cycle.

Yes I read it too, I might apply to Latham but will use TCLA service for my preferred firm (W&C).
