Vac Schemes 2012: The early bird catches the firm!

Yeah definitely, there's still a chance. Maybe target firms that aren't already interviewing and look at apps after the deadline?

ps Azori can I also ask what date you applied to Ashurst, it's driving me crazy waiting for a reply! It seems someone from the start of December got a PFO yesterday they could just be working through chronologically?

NR. Honestly though, my drafting exercise was an appalling mess and not logical at all, not sure I even came to any conclusion. That said, it was a great experience for the future and I'll hopefully be able to handle drafting better next time!

Hey when did you apply to/hear from NR? What was the drafting exercise about, if you don't mind me asking? I think they try and push you if they think you can handle it so don't worry. And good luck

I applied in November, called for interview last Friday and interviewed today. Good luck to you too.

I know someone who's just got a phone interview.

At the end of my interview I was told about 2 weeks. That was monday, so I have a fair amount of time left to wait.

In other news got an interview at Dechert. But I have to turn it down because the dates clash with a vac scheme I already have at Hogan Lovells

Anyone heard from Wragge? I got an email saying that my application was still part of the process and being screened, slightly unsure whether it is good news?!

I got rejected from Herbert Smith 2 days after assessment day, by post!

Got a telephone interview with them sometime next week

Hi there,

Does anyone have any tips for the Eversheds phone interview? I've got one coming up and was just wondering if anyone can reply/pm with how to prepare and what they'll ask.

Congrats to everyone for all the success so far!

Anyone else heard from White and Case?

Nope I applied last week of November. PFO imminent

Anyone any news from Cleary?? Also, has anyone had K&E asking for his grades?

I went to an assessment day there on 9th Jan, have you been to one? I havent heard back yet though the waiting is a nightmare! Apparently they do another one at the beginning of Feb.

No I haven't and I have applied since November..:P Do you know anyone who got an invite for the 2nd AC?

I don't know anyone who has but someone at my assessment day asked a HR person and apparently that's what they said..so you should be hearing soon if that's the case!
