I was given 1 days notice... it varies so much!

I feel like this is such an unreasonable request by law firms.

 

[Apple]

Congratulations! Was this right after submitting the written app? No intermediate stages?

Yep!

 

[AryanAgg]

Im curious, in proofreading exercises, how to make sense of the use of ; if youre accustomed to just using a full stop on that spot?

 

[lawstudent2]

Anyone else still not heard from ashurst post ac?
I feel like it must be a guaranteed rejection now after all the offers that came out this afternoon

 

[Diana54]

I feel like White & Case is definitely a rejection for me as the candidates that did their interview at the same time as me have received offers.

I just wish firms were kind end to just send rejection and not leave us in limbo

Congrats everyone who got offers today!!

Does anyone know what the process is for Faegre Drinker? I honestly can't find much about them - they don't have anything on Legal Cheek, and I haven't seen many people talk about it on here.

Last year it was just the application and a teams interview (30 mins with head of grad rec who used to be a lawyer at the firm)

hey guys, coming to you with a bit of a dilemma!! I was very grateful to receive two vacation scheme offers, which I have accepted this spring/summer. I’m really excited because I really loved both firms ACs, and one of the firms has even encouraged us to post about it on socials. I suppose my question is and what I’m worried about, is that if I’m public about the fact that I have two vacation scheme offers, I don’t want it to prejudice my chances of being able to convert it into a training contract. I guess my concern is, if they know that I am doing a vacation scheme at another firm, will they just think that there’s no point in giving me a training contract because they might receive one elsewhere? I’m just worried this would be the case, because at this point I really loved both firms and would be honored to work at either of them, so I don’t want to do anything bad in anyway! I’ve seen other people who have multiple vacation schemes post about it online, but I’m just not sure what to do! thoughts?!

Im really curious about this score in linklaters WG though, is it decent enough to make it or it's a doomed situation?
