Morning everyone, three questions:

- I applied for Gibson Dunn direct TC, but did not receive the test. Anyone encountered this issue?
- any news from Debevoise?
- did anyone receive any PFOs from Paul,Weiss?
Don’t believe anyone has heard anything from PW… I could be incorrect though!

reading is fundamental guys. simple things like this are tested on assessment centers and written exercises. :)
Well when they reply to someone who asked about a VI then it’s pretty safe to assume that it could be post VI🙂also not having to comment on everything is fundamental to assessment centres and written exercises

Can you not read properly they said post app
Idk what happened to this forum and how toxic it’s become you guys love to comment on everything. They literally replied to someone who asked about post VI so it would be reasonable to assume it was something similar. Find something better to do than comment on things that you’re not even mentioned in

Last year I applied to their DTC and didn’t even receive a rejection so I think they really prioritise VS applications here.

it said POST APP. I do not comment on everything you are upset by my response and I am sorry you feel this way. It was not a toxic response it just clearly (to me) said post app. good luck :)

it was replied to a response POST VI, people are sometimes vague here, if you would mind your own that person could’ve just said it was actually post app and I read wrong or ignored it. Didn’t really care what was clear to you lol

The person said post app yet you still ask post VI how can you become a lawyer when you can't read basic sentences.
Quite ironic because I’m a banker from a top 5 uni lol, but if you want to put people down because all I asked was some post VI and you wanna comment because you have nothing better to do then sure weirdo

Jesus Christ just stop already. Why are some of you acting like this? You’re irritated by an innocent post that misunderstood something but think that your clearly hostile message is fine? Surely someone that made it to Goodwin’s VI can read very well, what’s the point of these attacks?

Guys, I know tensions are high right now, but things are starting to feel personal. Let’s keep it respectful.
