Latham I got a VI invite last week - haven't heard back after the VI

(edit) I had applied the day before the deadline

Do they email you your score? I applied for the CPS training contract as well but didn’t say whether I passed or failed?

I got the score almost instantly. They ask you to refresh the page and then your score appears. I also got an email

Has anyone heard from Milbank post-ac

 

[Tony Stark]

Anyone else heard back from CC 2024 yet?

Pinsent Masons AC, turning into a very good application cycle this year round.

Did your email tell you anything about whether the commercial exercise is group or individual; whether there would be another AC stage? Also got a second email from them but is basically just repeated what was said in the initial one.

No - it basically gave the same information as the previous email and gave more details around the platform being used.

which office please?

 

[LEL]

Does anyone have any advice for white & case’s written assessment? I’ve never done one before so not sure what to expect!

Feel free to PM me

 

[SOAS22]

Has anyone done the DWF VI yet? If so, how was it? I am hoping to do it tonight so any tips would be helpful

 

[awd1998]

which office please?

Edinburgh/Glasgow, cant actually remember which one I put down in the end

 

[zidoeslaw]

Would this be the same for the Dubai office? Because deadline for that is 4th of Feb.

Probably not! They're two separate offices, and if the deadline is the 4th it means that there must be a few ACs coming up after the deadline

 

[Donuttime]

Is it likely that firms have a set amount of AC they hold each year, or does it vary?

 

[TCLA Community Assistant]

Is it likely that firms have a set amount of AC they hold each year, or does it vary?

Typically there will be a range of ACs they will aim to complete. How big that range is usually depends on how they are finding the recruitment process and how big their intake is.
