Re: Vac Schemes 2012: The early bird catches the firm!I submitted my app on 26th(Original post by StealthyGoat)
Not yet... When did you complete yours?
Did the test on 30th
I remember reading on the website that they don't hand out offers until the deadline closed (the 9th? or something). But the assessment days are late Jan, so I'm wondering how much notice they'll give.
Has anyone applied/heard from Kirkland and Ellis? -

Also, anyone think I'm silly to complete and A&O application today when the deadline is like the 15th? Should I just focus on ones that are deadline 31st now? -
Re: Vac Schemes 2012: The early bird catches the firm!Nope! There's still 5 days to go(Original post by Sianeh)

I think it depends on how busy you are really and I can't remember what other applications you did but out of the ones I've done, it felt like the longest application EVER. Endless 250 word compentency questions.

Re: Vac Schemes 2012: The early bird catches the firm!Oh really are they endless?! I'm on question 2 of the competency ones (I'm actually applying for the TC?! oh well) Its actually really annoying that you can't see how many of them there are, and what the next questions are because I don't want to use an example that would be better suited to a later question! GAH Do you happen to remember any of them? Longshot seeing as all the applications I've done are beginning to blur into one now..(Original post by alibaba03)

Re: Vac Schemes 2012: The early bird catches the firm!Yes, it was crazy! I distinctly remember there being 10 (could be wrong but it was definitely around that number) just to warn you. Some were the standard is there anything else you want to add questions. All I can remember a question about challenges I'm afraid, it was a while ago now.(Original post by Sianeh)

What I did was to put 'fdhfjkdsh' for every single question and then move on (obviously go back and actually answer them haha!) so I could get to the end and see if the questions are worth it so you might want to consider that.
