Gibson Dunn first round interview! I applied around Christmas time. If anyone has any tips for the interview, please do let me know!

Have you registered with the junior lawyer forum? Might be easier to reach out that way!

I've tried but haven't been confirmed yet annoyingly... I'm sure it's coming but thanks!

I applied Friday evening and got the email inviting me to interview at 10am, so unexpectedly fast!

Oh man, I applied on Wednesday night so I’ll presume PFO as not heard a bean

oh gosh, I still haven't heard so I'm really hoping we both don't get PFOd lol but congrats @ms167bs !!

Ah, I didn't know that! Fingers crossed your application goes through soon

Hey everyone,

I have an in person AC coming up, and am wondering if I should bring anything with me. If so, do people just bring backpacks/bags with them?

Thanks

Hey! Sorry to hear. Was this post Watson Glaser if you dont mind me asking.

How do you guys cope with this? It’s ridiculous. I’m on edge constantly. I know a watched pot never boils but I’m checking my emails constantly. Not had anything back from anyone yet. One minute I’m gutted not to have heard from anyone but the next I’m relieved as no news is good news and not a PFO. The suspense is killing me (well, lack of control lol)

Same here. No responses whatsoever so my anxiety tells me that its all PFOs without confirmation

Hey there! This was not. I applied in December and received no response until today despite emailing grad recruitment a few times. Oh well.

Is it bad to email grad rec after not hearing back post-application?

Is it bad to email grad rec after not hearing back post-application?

I don't think it'll change much unless you need to hear back soon to make a decision on an offer you have which would conflict... best to just wait, other than the emotional strain XD, not much will change regardless of getting the outcome tomorrow or next month imo

but I guess it's not bad

Has anyone not heard back from Milbank? Saw a couple folks got ACs so I'm expecting a PFO at this point

I haven’t either

 

[Sachin Chandra]

Yes I've also not heard back. Very heartbreaking and surely means PFO. I think I read somewhere that they don't even send confirmation

I think PFO is likely at this point given that they go from application straight to AC (I think?). Poor form from them though for not updating us.

Not sending confirmation is a little harsh Didn't apply myself but feel bad for those who haven't heard back yet

any news from shearman, mischon & WC?

Shearman will be doing interviews (both spring and summer) until mid Feb. So if you don’t hear by then it will be a rejection unfortunately. Good luck and fingers crossed for you
