Akin 50 days post TI... no replies cmon!

Not to be a downer, but had same experience last cycle and was sent a rej. It's frustrating how long they take to get back.

Ah thanks, there goes my chances at a vac there then

 

[AGB2060]

I am back after a few days being gone however I do not come empty handed. Slaughter and May Vac scheme!

 

[AGB2060]

Anyone heard back from Linklaters? Heard people have gotten ACs/VS, but I've not been asked to PFO/AC.

I think they had they're having their last few AC's this week from what I heard from people so unfortunately probably PFO

Congrats! Did you know your AC went well or were you unsure till you got the offer??

 

[Lissa06]

Btw guys has anyone had issues with freshfields’ application form deleting what you’ve entered in the past? I applied for their 1st year scheme and it didn’t save my GCSE grades (but saved everything else). I contacted them about it literally months ago; they never responded. I’m now wondering whether they’ve lost that email and will auto reject me because of this (god I hate vantage)

Yes it is!

I was so certain it was a PFO, like it didn't go 'bad' but they seemed quite unconvinced by some of my answers and also they cut the interview super early.

Sometimes looking unconvinced is to try and throw you off, maybe they were super convinced after all.

Anyone get a confirmation email after doing the Winston & Strawn WG? I didn’t get one, but completed it earlier today.

I didn't as well, I think it would radio silence till either invite to interview or pfo.
