[Helena]

Me!

Can you tell us what you heard back from FF? Yes, no?

 

[S30]

Someone on here said we should hear back in February, so basically fairly soon

Thanks Zhang!

 

[JoNo]

Anyone heard back from White & Case?

 

[KerC14]

Anyone heard from Irwin Mitchell yet? Wondering if they send out rejections/invites to the next stage in batches or as they review each application

Still on hold for Links as well

Just had an AC and I was initially happy with my performance but I’m just overthinking everything. Anyone ever been in position where they didn’t think they spoke about everything they wanted to? Feel like I’ve missed opportunities during the conversation to bring up things I definitely know about but just didn’t mention that could’ve really made me stood out further

Yes, this has happened to probably everyone. No point in overthinking it now (although it is hard not to), just wait for the call

Rejection from Skadden post tel interview but just got a Morgan Lewis tel interview invite! Anyone done that before please?

 

[Penelope]

Just had a rejection post-app for an application I was really proud of and had spent days on.

Wish I could get feedback on it/know why it was unsuccessful.

Any tips on this?

 

[Mirela Mihova]

You could probably ask them to consider you when they hold their next batch of ACs in the summer? That could be an option! Good luck

Yes, this is what I did in the end and they agreed! Thank you

Dont worry. It happens. It probably went way better than you think but just not in the way you wanted it to in your head.

Regardless of the outcome, just take every experience as an opportunity to learn and get better.

Kobe Bryant missed 1000 more shots than any other player in NBA history yet he still was one of the best! I hope that helps in some way

I empathise with the feeling. Not sure I've ever felt as though I performed to the best of my ability. The best piece of advice I have gotten on this is that it's never as bad outwardly as it is internally. Those interviewing you are not privy to the self-doubt in your head, nor the model answers you know you could have given. You did better than you think and hopefully this time the cards will be in your favour.

Literally nothing from them!

Did you apply for BLS or PLS? The wait is annoying isn’t it!

 

[Asmee DC]

Has anyone heard from Eversheds Birmingham office? I did the VI in the beginning of January and haven't heard anything since.
