Anyone hasn't heard back from Sidley Austin (summer), Weil (Summer), and Gibson Dunn (Summer)- I submitted these three quite early, shall I assume PFO?

Heya- I don’t think Gibson Dunn or Weil have got back to many pols so I wouldn’t assume PFO just yet

Hi Everyone,

I’m a non-law student and this is my first application cycle. I am applying to - Baker McKenzie (submitted on the morning of the deadline day), NRF (submitted also on the Day of the deadline), Freshfields, white&case and lastly Osborne Clarke. I didn’t realise that Bakers, white&case and Osborne have rolling deadline. (Osborne review applications as they come but do not fill up interview or AC places until after the deadline). White&Case and Osborne Clarke have deadline on the 12/01 and 15/01 respectively.

Have I messed up here and do I have any chance at all of progressing to the next stages?

someone please respond cause I’m honestly panicking a lot.

You have a chance, there are many rolling firms I applied to last minute literally 2 mins before the deadline and was progressed (no formal legal work experience either).

Thank you so much for responding. Makes me feel way better.

Can I ask, since you‘ve mentioned how you have no formal legal work experience, In applications how did you answer the question of ‘Why Law’ without making it sound too generic.

Has anyone heard from Forsters?

Bakers don’t respond to anyone until after the deadline date (from someone that has a TC there and applied 5h before the deadline for spring last year).

If you’re still waiting on an outcome for a firm, is it ok to reach out or should you just wait for them to respond?

 

[shays]

anyone heard back from Latham or Akin?

 

[shays]

oh and with HFW, anyone knows if when you apply close to the deadline (cause they are rolling) will they treat your application as for the TC solely or in that case is it flat out better to wait past the VS deadline and apply for the TC only?

 

[AlegalA]

how did you find it?!

Haven't done it yet!

Shoosmiths Open day! It’s virtual, but small wins still count!
