Was it Leeds by any chance?

Yes

 

[Sunshinepink]

With Addleshaw, they said rejections all at once, once they have finished recruiting for their VS. That’s what I remember from a few years ago. They definitely don’t reject as they read apps

Ohhh okay, i understand. Did you apply to Leeds by any chance? and Thank you so much

 

[Sunshinepink]

Yes

Same here... I've spoken to the recruiter previously so i have sent her an email and will update when i hear something back 😊

Has anyone heard anything from Clyde & Co for summer vs? Either an AC invite or a PFO?

Nothing since completing the VI in early Jan! Although looking at last year’s posts they didn’t reply for summer until March lmao

I applied on the 4th and received a response on 13th

For SPB, their digital assessment includes a priority management exercise where you have to rank stuff and then explain your answer. Does anyone know how this is set out? Will the explanations have to be recorded or typed up?

Is Mayer Brown's SJT automatic or sent after app being reviewed?

Does anyone know if the Mayer Brown test includes any questions about the firm/commerical awareness?

Just an update - There is not.

 

[Sachin Chandra]

Are Mayer Brown tests automatic or for select candidates? I believe the former but would love some clarification

Have you done it yet?

Is there anyone that used Forage for virtual work experience (even though it would be a certification) and mentioned this on applications? (unsuccessful and those who are progressing) 😊

It wouldn't count as work experience on law apps. But I put mine on my CV under extra-curricular activities. Forage give details how to do it properly:

No I just read the website

Does anyone know if the Mayer Brown online tests are timed? Thanks!

 

[Phoebe123451]

also - did Mayer Brown send the tests last year to everyone? I realise I never received them last year.
