I applied for London and my email said early this week.

I applied for Manchester in the end (I wanted to diversify my applications with some regional options )

Mayer brown grad rec are really keen on not sharing insights on the ac, they specifically asked that we don't say anything on the forums etc about the content of the tasks

Yes that, and actually they give you quite a lot of information in the pack they send in the email. More than other firms for sure!

Anybody else sign up for an "insight day" with lawcareers.net only to be constantly spammed by BPP?

Ugh, yes. I didn’t sign up for an Insight day, but simply registered with lawcareers.net and signed up for a few events. I had to block their number and email asking them to stop calling. Very annoying

I have no idea I'm sorry, I'm just repeating the stats that they gave us at the start about application numbers and interviews etc
They didn't say much else on the matter

It fully turns me off... good education doesn't need aggressive marketing. Good education = good results = attractive to people who want to study there. If their focus is trying to find people to take their course, then it doesn't feel encouraging to me...

 

[user397485]

baker post ac anyone?

 

[lawstudent8373829]

Can anyone share insights into Hogan AC?

 

[SueD]

Anyone heard from PMC london??

Nothing at all. I emailed them and got no reply either.

 

[Legal12345]

Have people been called to interview for travers smith? If so, were you emailed or called?

 

[kim wexler]

Nothing at all. I emailed them and got no reply either.

I applied to PMC last year, I can’t find the email for some reason in my inbox but they took absurdly long to get back to me with a PFO. Think it might’ve genuinely been 2+ months. So it put me off of applying there again.
