Does anyone know if the CMS online test is automatic??

This is a bit of an odd request but if anybody has previously passed Gowlings arctic shores test, would it be possible to send over their feedback report? Just completed mine and I’m stressing that I’ve done terribly

Yeah I thought it was the 3rd too but checked again today and its showing 10th now

Not sure if I should stick to the 3rd or 10th? I know Latham says its the 10th but if all other platforms including the TCLA deadlines calendar has quoted 3rd I just wonder if there is something I've missed?

If their website says 10th then I would go with 10th, trust the direct source. That's what I'm doing

honestly same here - I just completed it and have no idea what is considered a good score

Does anyone know what time CMS closes on the 4th?

 

[goodvibesonly]

I think they've just extended their deadline - this happened last year as well (they moved the deadline forward on their application site but everywhere else still showed the original date)

One of my friends said grad recruitment confirmed it was extended to the 10th

I know this is the vac scheme thread, but has any applied for the direct TC at McDermott Will & Emery, and have they heard anything from them?

This probably has a really obvious answer but I thought I'd ask in case I'm misreading things: when is the deadline for Latham & Watkins' spring/summer 2024 vacation schemes? The application website lists it as the 10th December but all the legal help websites (lawcareers, legal500, chambersstudent, etc.) list it as today (3rd December 2023).

I obviously know which one should take priority but I'm wondering why they're all saying a week earlier? Thanks!

Heya! They extended their deadline hence why all the other sources say the 3rd

Is it okay to submit an app on the day of the deadline for non-rolling apps?

Chambers student says that Arnold & Porter receives around 300 VC applications. That number seems very low, does anyone know if this is the case?

Chambers would have got those stats from the firm - so I would take it as accurate.

Many people won’t want to work at the firm and if they are not as active on campus/advertising online as other firms, they will get fewer applications.
