Should I assume it's a PFO if I haven't heard back from Weil post application 😭😐

when did you apply? I applied jan 5 and got a VI a few days later

You could even if it is a non-CV blind process - it is just more that you’ll probably need a bit more detail/thoroughness to your in person answers compared to your application.

I would echo this! I had an ac this Tuesday and everything I mentioned was written in my cv and I was successful. As Jessica said, you’ll just have to elaborate and give context to experiences in the interview.

Thank you!

Anyone heard back from Goodwin Procter?

I haven’t, but not expecting good news.

 

[BeGrateful.101]

I haven’t, but not expecting good news.

Any idea when they will start getting back to everyone? the wait is so long.

Email post-app said within 4 weeks of the deadline, so probably early February? I think since it’s straight to interview/AC post-app, they’ll read them all quite thoroughly (+ they’re a great firm so I fear they’ve had A LOT of apps to read 😅)

Based on Latham's VI invites last year, I think that today's batch might be the last one. Assuming that enough people pass the VI, it's likely that the next time we hear from them is a mass PFO in early Feb 🥱.

Somebody mentioned this could be different because they extended the deadline, but I'm not holding my breath.

bracing myself

Has anyone been invited to Clyde ‘s AC for Spring VS?

The dates (07 &09 Feb）are just two weeks away but I still don't know if I made it.

also last year they sent out all AC invites on 20th Jan

I did their AC for winter if that helps.

 

[Hmm123]

Does anyone know generally how long it'll take for Simmons to get back post-tests/VI? Expecting a PFO though

 

[saraeali]

Does anyone know if Kirkland has handed out all AC invites yet?

 

[Ghassen]

Does anyone think Bakers sent all AC invitations for spring VS ? Still didn’t hear anything and the first AC is in 24th January.

[CorpLawyer00]

Does anyone have advice on Kirkland AC or even know what it consists of? Is the AC even the final stage now or is that a final partner interview ?

 

[kmo20]

Hi, has anyone received any correspondence from Withers post Capp assessment?

Slaughter and May VS PFO, received minutes ago

Is this after or before interview?

 

[traineesolicitor123]

Does anyone know how many candidates Slaughter and May invites for an AC and how many get an offer? What is the general success rate of their ACs?
