Has anyone heard anything post-app for Mayer Brown DTC? It says online that they're rolling but applied back in November and haven't heard anything

I hope the wait is not too long for Macfarlanes. I feel like I did terribly in that stage 2 assessment

Same boat here…

 

[WeGotThis!]

Anyone that submitted their Vedder app in February heard from them?

Has anyone heard back from Macfarlanes post stage 2 or Stephenson harwood post app for dtc?

Does Mac recruit DTC on a rolling basis? I saw the deadline is June so not sure when is the best timing to apply.

I applied for DTC and got the holding email last night - but haven’t done any stages yet, only application. I think they are still dealing with vacation schemes.

Same boat as you but I saw someone on the forum said they got VI (also DTC London office)

Oh… disappointing! I thought they just hadn’t started DTC yet. Damn.

anyone knows what DTCs are currently still open to apply?

 

[lowkeyloser]

Who else has applied for a DTC at Arnold & Porter? Do people know when we should get AC responses?
