I applied on November 4th. I don't remember getting any feedback and can't find any in my inbox!

Ahh okay thanks I applied 24th Nov did the test 28th.
Just have to wait it out! I’m sure good news will come in the new year.

Hopefully you'll receive the second test as well!

For White & Case’s question, “Please use the space below to provide details of any careers events you have attended (e.g. insight days, workshops, presentations etc.). These do not need to be White & Case specific. (Max. 350 words)”:

(a) What structure should I follow?
(b) Can I refer to virtual events such as those run by TCLA? I am an international student so, apart from one Open Day, I do not have much in-person experience. Virtual events have therefore been particularly valuable for me.

I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has applied, and also from @Abbie Whitlock and @Andrei Radu , who are known for their structure and strategies here in TCLA

Thank you in advance!

Random and a little silly, but for a monitored SJT with numerical aspects, can I split-screen my iPad between the notes app and calculator? Idk if that’s seen as cheating lol, I don’t think I’ve got a physical calculator

😂 HAHA lowkey with my AOS monitored SJT with numerical questions, I whipped out my clacky (ASMR type keys) calculator and made a whole show and performance for them hahah... but honestly I don't think it's an issue, don't think they'll be able to tell unless you wear glasses and they can see it in the reflection...

Honestly unsure about iPads/tablets but I can say that I've always used Google Sheets as a calculator (I like my spreadsheet calculations lmao) for monitored tests with numerical aspects and haven't run into any issues before

@Jaysen @Abbie Whitlock @Andrei Radu, hi guys, hope you are well. I am just wondering whether you may know what Paul Weiss's application policy is like on reapplying in the same cycle (for SVS if got rejected for Winter)

Thanks in advance

SAME whatever firm I work for in the future needs to clock that if they allow me to use clacky ASMR stuff, I will stay glued to my workspace and be productive forever 😁 (half joking)

Explain to me how putting shapes in a box or judging reaction times determines whether we will be a competent lawyer🤣🤣
