I have the same question! Would be grateful if someone could confirm 😅 I was planning to take it tomorrow, but as we received the invite on Tuesday night just want to be extra sure :')
Oh interesting! Thank you for that
Even though I never been the one to ask the questions, so I'm not sure how that works? but I have also spoke to a Trainee at Travers who has said that it seems fairly early and inconsistent with past cycles, which have taken up to April. Hope we all hear back soon!!It seems only 2 have so I wouldn’t worry
Am I correct in thinking that A&P receive nearly 1000 applications a year for 2 places? Trying to decide if it's worth applying - I love the firm and they're very well suited to me, but having a 1/500 chance of a TC offer is a bit off putting
oh my god really … I might not apply with these odds hahahAm I correct in thinking that A&P receive nearly 1000 applications a year for 2 places?

Chambers Student said a couple of years ago it was 300 for VS and then 500 more for direct TC, which I fear will have gone up due to app numbers generally increasing. It's so hard to know whether to go for it or not!
Mayer brown trainee simulation!
Does anyone have any experience with this? would appreciate any insight 🙂

Unfortunately I don't have any insight, but do you mind if I ask when you received it, and what your scores were in the tests? Congrats btw!
I got the invite yesterday evening.
In the VR I got 4 above average and one average. I think they look at it holistically so u don't need a particular score.
I wonder if Mayer Brown are progressing those with above average and average scores or a mix of the two first. Then they’ll go from there depending on the digital simulation results. I’m not sure but just a thought.
When was Slaughters doing VIs? Everyone I know went straight to actual interview
Writing an answer to: 'Tell us about a challenge you have overcome that showcases your ambition and drive.'
Does anyone have any advice about potential areas to focus on or to stay away from? I've never answered a question like this before on an application.
Thank
