There is no hard and fast rule. We have offered people more than 2 days after they were interviewed and we have turned down people before 2 days after they were interviewed.
We try to get back to everyone ASAP (and hopefully within 2 days) but on occasion it does take more like a week.
Thanks... i'll hang on for a bit. Do you contact successful applicants within 48 hours of interview and unsuccessful ones 48 hours to one week? That would seem to be the case on the various forums.
I applied for the Vacation Scheme about a month ago (submitted my online test on Christmas Eve) but haven't heard back from Graduate Recruitment yet about the outcome of my application. When can I expect to hear back since it says on the website it usually takes about two weeks?
I was wondering if the vacation schemes for Freshfields are open? If they are open. I was wondering if you could provide me with the links to where I can go to begin the application process.
I've been given a place at Cardiff Law School (achieved on first sitting) with A level results ABBB.
My question is: is there a filtering system in which applicants are filtered by A level results, regardless of degree classification?
For example, my "A" came in the Welsh Bacc, along with BBB in my other A levels (hence ABBB) but I'm aware that applicants who don't have enough A's are instantly rejected.
Would perhaps a strong 2:1 or a First demonstrate strong academic potential and therefore supercede the A level grades?
