14/22 December

This application season has taught me that applying earlier really is a scam

[FutureTraineeMaybe]

[Bbhu19]

[BealMcAlly]

Has anyone at all heard from the below firms?

Post-app:
Bristows
Cooley (aside from holding email)
Baker McKenzie

Post SJT/WG and or VI: (spring or summer whatever is applicable)
Mishcon
Simmons²
Reed Smith
Linklaters(spring vs specifically)

 

[Bbhu19]

no i asked them whether they would be willing to move me to a later batch of ACs (that is, assuming they have them?)

we'll see how they respond...if they only hold their spring ACs over 3 days well then either my AC prep is going to suffer or my mocks are going to suffer...or worse, both lol

Oh ok hopefully then can reschedule best of luck 🎉🎉

[tcla02]

people who did the weil test same day as me got AC invites but nothing so far for me i fear im cooked

 

[TortillaTC]

Am I right in thinking that highlighting skills developed and linking back to the firm is unnecessary for Travers Smith on the WE section? Since they have a separate cover letter

 

[ArthurWeasleyLaw]

Weil AC. Scored 26. Should be interesting.
