willkie pfo (surprising, cant quite spot a mistake in my application) and linklaters wg result: 37/40 or 97 percentile

How did you get your result for the Linklaters WG test? Did you email them to ask for it, or do they send it to you?

You should email them

Honestly guys, seeing y'all rejections makes me feel better. I'm not wishing for more, but, you know, knowing you're not the only one going through this is kinda uplifting.

Did people receive a confirmation email after completing their second Milbank test?

 

[RSK]

yes i emailed them & they responded in ~10 days with a report

When you have a lot of deadlines and a firm isn't really your first choice AND you heard that they stopped reviewing apps potentially - this is mayer brown - is it still worth doing their whole online assessment? especially when you're travelling soon, have an app due and 2 other firm assessments that you care more about. would love your objective thoughts on this bc balancing is becoming hard lool

lowkey excited to do nrf's arctic shoreslove pressing some Q-P like a frantic monkey

I found it so dehumanising, never applied there again.

[badmintonflyinginsect]

- milbank post stage 1
- latham post stage 1
- kirkland post app

[floral.tcla]

I never got past stage 1 for Milbank so assumed it’s a goner!

 

[yk1906]

Got an email from Candid in my dinnertime, expect it was PFO from Weil, but turns out invite details from Stephenson Harwood! What a day full of jumpscare

Interview invite to SH? Congrats!! I thought they were non-rolling

 

[floral.tcla]

Sidenote, how many people applied to pwc and have heard any updates?

I applied ages ago but haven't heard back! they're taking their sweet time lol

 

[Lawlife5]

Have people progressed with firms to interview before and then re-applied and got rejected at app stage? So annoying

 

[justagirl23]

Hi, has anyone heard back from Freshfields post second stage? I made my application in November and completed the tests in late November-early December

literally same and still waiting, completed both stages by 26th nov, refreshing my email everyday going crazy
