Do you think it too late to submit rolling basis applications now?

just go for it. I thought it was too late to submit mine for the links winter scheme, when there was a week left. A friend of mine submitted his 15 mins before the deadline and got it. Biggest regret of my life.

Is the Mayer Brown verbal reasoning test link sent automatically after submission? I applied last week and only received the confirmation email.

Does anyone know how long Norton Rose Fulbright (application submitted on 20th Nov), Freshfields (verbal reasoning test completed on 30th Nov) and Baker & McKenzie (application submitted 10th Dec) take to respond?

Thanks!

Baker & McKenzie took two full weeks to process my app. When I talked to their recruitment team, they also told me that they process apps in the order that they come in.

Good luck!

AC for CMS! So happy because I didn't think my telephone interview went that well! Any general AC tips?

Hey, saw you're applying to Baker's, I still haven't heard and am applying for Summer? Are you applying for Summer too and did you have to do tests before you did the video interview?

Hello
I know it has been asked few times but has anyone got any insight on the Baker & McKenzie video interview. Mainly what type of questions came up and what was the time limit like and etc.
Thanks

Hi guys,

I need your input: what do you think are the chances that the firms would allow me to switch from attending a vac scheme AC to one for a straight TC (it's one of those apply4law applications that allows for applications for both)?

My circumstances have changed since I submitted my applications and I don't think I can attend the vac schemes anymore. I have a BLP AC coming up in January and did my Dentons first round interview over the phone last week. As far as I'm aware, both firms have the same processes for their TC and vac scheme apps. I'm hoping that I haven't gone this far for nothing :frown:
