Hey I'm so sorry to hear that. Don't give up though I also go to a NRG uni and understand where you are coming from. Have you tried any other mentor schemes I would really recommend Aspiring Solicitors they have amazing schemes. In the past I've also just reached out to my uni alumni on LinkedIn who are working at London city firms and asked them if they had the time to be my mentor. A lot of them are very helpful and not so scary once you get to know them. They can read your past applications for you or just give you general tips and advice catered to you.that’s my cycle over everyoneso gutted, i made it past the app stages for Baker McKenzie and Reed Smith but the online tests did not go well for me. As for the other places, I really worked on my apps but it wasn’t enough. My imposter syndrome put me off applying to US firms because I went to a NRG uni. Applied for a mentor about six months ago but did not get one. Aghshshhs I’ve had such a rubbish day omg no one to turn to!

It is a pretty relaxed AC compared to others I have had. When you arrive be very proactive and get to know everyone because they might end up in your group. It's better to have already built that sort of rapport beforehand so it makes the group exercise less daunting! Written exercise was an email of a client enquiry about one of their practices. Make sure that you know about their strengths and key practice areas because you will 100% be tested upon this in both the written exercise and interview. In the group exercise we were given a topic to present on with key PESTLE factors to be considered. I did mine last year so I'm not sure if it has changed since but thats my general advice!Also got a Forsters AC! Any advice would be much appreciated
This is the highest score I think I’ve seen on the forum so far! Congrats 🥳
I found the verbal and numerical questions were really difficult! 🥲

thank you! actually hope we all make it to the virtual AC, the test was SOO hard
Do we automatically get Freshfields WG results? If not, who do we email? Thank you! (Asking for direct TC)
Hopefully. I think they will assess applications alongside test scores. Not sure if they will take into account each individual pillar or just consider the overall ‘score’. I got 7566 in them so hoping that is okay. I think our scores add up to 24/36 which is 66-67%. 🙂
Best of luck for Paul, Weiss + the rest of the application cycle this year! 🙂

Hi guys!
Has anyone done an AC for White & Case? Any advice for the group presentation, written assessment and interview would be great honestly! I would appreciate literally any advice from anyone who has had experience for this AC.
Thanks

I just did Gateley.
It was a little weird because there was a "starter" question, which they said would be reviewed but not marked!?
There were then two further questions were 3 minutes prep, 2 minutes to answer, one a "commercial awareness" and one a personality. Nothing Gateley-specific, although you could potentially link it to them.
Yeah, yesterday! I wouldn't worry too much cause they seem to be doing things in batches? Maybe hold out some hope as some are receiving rejections, and if you haven't, I'd take it as a good sign!! Best of luck X
amazing thanks!!
reviewed but not marked sounds odd? can't think of what their reasoning for that is
