I don’t think you need to but I’d fill in any info such as placement year, year abroad, scholarships or any other info which would benefit your application.

Any withers interview invites for summer vs yet?

They have made VC offers for Spring not summer. They are confirming VC offers for summer at the end of this month (I did partner interview a few weeks ago).

aaah thank you so much and congrats!! So I believe it’s fair to assume a pfo if I haven’t heard back post assessment!

I think definitely don’t lose hope - they seem to communicate quite well so likely they would have sent PFO if that’s what they think. There are still 2 weeks left so they might be sending more interview invitations (it was virtual not in person so they don’t need to give lots of notice). Fingers crossed for you.

Anyone still waiting on links? Has anyone received a pfo post app?

I havent heard back yet for ACs from HSFK, Hogan Lovells, Dechert, and Linklaters.. is it most likely rejections?

 

[ellamai0]

Mayer Brown AC 🏆 I applied for the summer VS, but I’ve already accepted an internship at a different firm for those dates. Does anyone know if they’d let me move to the Spring scheme should I be successful?

[Moo&mak]
