I had first screening call with grad rec and she said they won't be sending interview invites til at least mid march

Do you mind if I ask when you got invited to the screening call?

9 Feb!

Yep, I applied but haven't heard anything yet - really not sure what the timeline will be since it's not a law firm, but kind of hoping we hear something soon 😅

yh was thinking the same thing😭out of interest, when did u apply? i think i applied feb 5th, which im pretty sure was quite close to the deadline, if not on the deadline lol

Same here. Why don’t they just send PFOs? They’ve held ACs and made VS offers so why keep us on the hook?

lol literally, won't be applying to them again anyways

Last year, AC invites were sent on 28 February, so similar timeline is expected this year too. But 2nd WG deadline is only today so I think we’re likely to hear next week.

Maybe the first round of offers will go out tomorrow or maybe they’ve already gone out and no one has said bc they’re not allowed to say yet 😅

Why do you think they aren’t allowed to say??

I had that with another firm this cycle and got the impression it was a combination of not having completely decided on offers, not wanting to panic anyone and avoiding anxious emails from those still waiting

Has anyone who had a Bristows WE deadline for 23rd Feb managed to hear back regarding first round interviews?

 

[adf43256]

Im definitely being paranoid but I got my VS offer last week by phone call, followed up with a email asking me to confirm my attendance (to which I replied doing so). They said in the email they'll be in touch soon with options for preferred practice groups. Ive not heard from them since.

AC invite for Linklaters (DTC), anyone has any tips or advice??

 

[amb303]

Why do you think they aren’t allowed to say??

In previous years people have popped up in mid March saying “was told to wait until now to share but CRS VS!” And they said they’d heard back about a week prior

Stephenson Harwood PFO. Surprising given I progressed to the next stage in last year’s DTC and their questions this year were similar
