MAYER BROWN AC

I’ve gotten 11 post app PFO’s this cycle and was beginning to loose hope. This is my first progression this cycle.

I will appreciate any insights anyone has.

I applied for both spring/summer. I didn’t indicate any particular preference.

Same here. Also just received Morgan Lewis TI! I’m surprised cos I don’t meet their A-levels! Any tips or insights would be appreciated. I sent my app on the day of the deadline.​

I think someone earlier on the thread said they got an email on 2nd Feb to do a TI with Sidley

 

[Lawyer20]

They've already given them all out, if I remember correctly. The last AC's are next week.

For summer vs?

I submitted Sidley on the deadline and now kinda regret i feel like it was a strong application but I’m not sure if they evaluate all applications or fill the spots rolling

I contacted them the other day as I applied for Spring and was told I would hear back by end of January and I still have radio silence (maybe I emailed the wrong email? Has anyone else who applied for spring who hasn't got an AC invite heard back about PFO's or anything?
