Wow!! What a morning!!

It feels surreal! … But to be fair, I did refuse to check my inbox the past few days and almost missed one of the invites 😂. It seems like I might see you at Cleary’s AC; best of luck! We’ve got this!

 

[LawAspirer]

For anyone that did the Dechert WE did you get a confirmation email afterwards? I've just completed mine and I'm terrified something didn't submit 😅😅

Nope

 

[Rosie_Kitten]

Is it just me whose inbox has been so dead 🤣

Applied to 30 firms... basically nothing this week. My only hope is lots of then have responded to almost nobody recently.

 

[ilikelaw]

gosh all these posts about AC invites are making me wanna apply to more firms just in case, but i gotta force myself to lock in for exams first

 

[ddalki]

This is so impressive! Congratulations!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Manifesting all the best for your applications! ✨💖

 

[ddalki]

Huge congrats!! 🎉
Just out of interest, was the Latham AC invite from today?

Thank you! Nope, it was from a few days ago, I just… refused to check my email because I was scared……

Is clyde and Co's VI mostly motivational/situational rather than commercial?

Both iirc.

I'm trying to arouse my inbox so it can send me SOMETHINGGG (Good)

Not sure it'd be sending the type of emails you want to receive if you "arouse" it 😭

As far as I remember it is mostly situational with fewer motivational questions

Maybe it isn’t a PFO after all. Dechert WE invite at last lmfao. This is for the Spring VS. I applied early Dec so over 6 weeks ago. I’m surprised cos I don’t meet their A-level requirements.

[Meg_Thee_Applicant]

Did you do the video interview? As with those scores you should have reached the benchmark I think it was 12/13

No I didn’t, was that automatic?

Thank you!!

Latham, Cleary, and Jones Day AC invites! I’ve never been to an AC before, so this is mildly terrifying. 😰 Hoping everyone is hearing great things!

Smashing it!
