Fuck, I got rejected from DLA.

Hypertrophy, do you have any idea of why you got rejected from DLA, as you did mention that you received a first-round interview at Freehills? I also got Freehills.

Hardenne, did you hear from Bakers? I just got rejected.

Re: Summer clerkships 2009/2010

*Freehills: Rejection
*DLA Phillips Fox : Rejection
*PWC Legal - Online test invite, completed that but no phone interview as of yet.
*Baker & McKenzie: Rejection
*Clayton Utz
*Corrs Chambers Westgarth

Re: Summer clerkships 2009/2010
keep you head up Mel. Remember, this year is an exceptional year, it was always going to be tough. You got many firms to go, the right one for you will come along. And yeah, I do not know what cuts it these days.

Re: Summer clerkships 2009/2010
I applied to most firms & the 4 accounting firms. So far:

Freehills - rejection
Phillips Fox - rejection
Baker & McKenzie - rejection

PwC - Online test
KPMG - Online test
Deloitte - Invitation to some info evening (applications haven't even closed yet so I don't think it's indicative of anything).

Re: Summer clerkships 2009/2010
I'm trying to resist the temptation to freak out. Although there are some people that might score heaps of interviews, most people I've spoken to that have done it before got 3 or 4.

Every firm is different - different criteria, different 'values', different culture. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself so I can get through this week...

Re: Summer clerkships 2009/2010
by exceptional I meant the year of the financial crisis, law firms sacking everyone, lower intakes etc, I didn't mean the cohort was exceptional, though it just makes it even more competitive.
