[lk23]

Hi, I'm trying to prep my timetable for the upcoming vac scheme cycle and wanted to a general overview of when, post-application, firms will give you their online assessment, and how many days they give you to complete this.

If anyone knows this for the following firms (personal anecdotes are welcome since its not often outright stated):

• DWF
• Eversheds Sutherland
• Gateley (for online assessment stage, the deadline/days given to complete & both details of video interview)
• Shoosmiths
• Squire Patton Boggs
• Hogan Lovells Cadwalader (for the 1st stage, the deadline/days given to complete & both details about the 2nd stage)

So far, I have the following:

• Gateley
  • Received: post-application deadline/January (automatic)
  • Deadline: (?)
• Irwin Mitchell (TC)
  • Received: 0 days post app (automatic)
  • Deadline: 7 days
