BCLP Interview for Spring! Has anyone done an AC yet for spring? I was told they were starting ACs quite early so I'm hoping I didn't leave it too late when applying, wondering how many ACs will be left. Any advice for the interview would be really appreciated too!

Hey, congrats! The interview is strengths based so I'll advise you to brush up on how to answer these and also on your motivational Qs as it starts off with that. The ACs have not begun yet and they have only recently started giving out the invites for them. So basically, you're good! All the best

How long did people wait before getting Bird & Bird WG?

I applied for the spring programme and got the WG the same day, but some other people I know got theirs the day or two afterward! if this is for summer I'm not sure what the timeline would be like

Congratulations! Can i ask when you applied?

Thank you! I applied on the 21st, so pretty quick turnaround. Test sent immediately, but I completed it on Monday (24th), and got an email invite today.

Completed DLA WG 25th and haven't received a feedback report or a pass email yet. Should I take this as a fail?

Hello! For those who applied to Dechert- how long did it take to get a response post app?

Does Baker McKenzie send out invites to the online test and VI after the online application deadline has closed?

They said they’ll review applications as they come but send tests in December
