Has anyone heard from Bird & Bird yet? I’m so nervous because I’m expecting to hear back from them this week or next week and I was underprepared for my AC. It was my first ever and only AC as well

nope haven't heard back yet - on my AC at the end of jan they said they'd take a few weeks to get back to use (around mid-late feb)

Any idea when can we expect to hear back from mishcon for the summer scheme?

 

[Donna Paulsen]

Sorry there was a user called Chris Brown? Named after the abuser? I don’t find that very funny

No idea. Many of us haven’t heard anything for spring apart from those who have received AC invites

I see my services have been called upon again

Has anyone heard back from Mishcon about Spring since they sent out some AC’s. Also anymore VI invites for CRS (London)?

The SJT email invite said February

 

[sbbusybee]

Has anyone applied to white & case with a-levels that don't meet their requirement, and gotten past app stage?

Yes, I got to their final interview last year, however I do have serious mitigating circumstances regarding my A-Levels, and my university grades are all 1sts apart from two 2:1s.

They seemed more bothered with my university results and gave me positive feedback on them, and encouraged me to continue achieving high grades.

OHH I’M NOT LETTING THIS GET LOST IN THE WAVE OF DISCOURSE!

Does anyone know when they run ACs till?

 

[preciosayelaire]

edit: first contribution and didn't realise my : )'s would be converted into the creepy emojis......

Not me getting notifications in this thread, getting excited to see if there were any updates, only to find a debate over whether an anonymous account belonged to one person or a new person... like in reality, is it that deep? Does it really impact anything?

I may as well be up front and honest... I am not really a cat in real life (also insert the one Zoom courtroom gif of the guy who couldn't turn off the filter).

Has anyone heard back from RPC post-AC?

 

[thedonnabrief]

Does Vinson Elkins send VI in batches or? I searched the forum and got mixed responses

bump!

 

[SueD]

Fingers crossed for Forsters news this week…
And am still hoping CRS make a move for DTC apps for London.

 

[Jaysen]

Thanks for the swift report all.

To avoid doubt, we are investigating the two accounts. It is odd for two people to share the same forum account.

But please report these things to the team rather than coming into the forum to attack a user.

Thank you
