Farrer AC too! And if anyone has any advice or tips, I would be very grateful. In particular for an individual written exercise and a group case study exercise.

did you guys get an invite to the WG? and then the AC after?

Straight invitation to AC

Sorry to hear that. Did you receive the rejection email just now or same time with other people?

Thank you. Received it at the same time with other people, around 1.30pm

To the best of my knowledge there is no WG? @Adrian_S confirm?

Straight invitation to AC

ahh ok! I saw on the website that there was some sort of test so I thought I missed something and that's why I got a pfo :'( good luck on your AC!

“We regret to inform you” might be the most used phrase in my inbox at this point

Ropes AC - the real question is do I have enough time to do this because I am struggling so much to balance uni work with applications (dissertation due at the end of March is nowhere near done)

 

[Adrian_S]

did you guys get an invite to the WG? and then the AC after?

Didn't see a WG invitation - they just said "If you accept an offer to attend the assessment day, we would like you to complete an online psychometric test in advance and we will send you the details of how to complete this upon acceptance." Hope that helps.

Anyone heard from Pinsent Masons London VS post-app?

 

[Autotunedbird]

In the past, would CMS run their recruitment for a long period of time? I'm still waiting for post-app and submitted 24th December.

R&G AC

Any help/information would be appreciated

Congrats!

Out of curiosity, are you able to give a rough outline of what you said the top challenges facing law firms were for their questions?
You too if you could @Adrian_S ?

I thought R&G was one of my better ones so was a bit disappointed on this one.

Simmons & Simmons summer vacation scheme London PFO - they said they had now reached capacity for their scheme.

Linklaters direct TC PFO - standard high number of applicants wording.
