I just got my BJ AC offer but just accepted a VS invite which means even if i got BJ I wouldnt be able to do the scheme. Do you think its worth asking if I could be considered for dtc instead before the AC ?

I am in the same situation. Have you emailed to ask?

Has anyone heard back from Arnold and Porter post Interview?

@axk323 Hi! How long did you wait to hear from them following the submission of your online application? I submitted mine on 1st March 2026 (deadline) and have not heard from them, so I believe that is not a good sign! Thank you.

Yes this is the next stage after the written app Thank you sm!

@Mara Hi! I was wondering how long you waited to hear from them following the submission of your online application? I submitted mine on 1st March 2026 (deadline) and have not heard from them, so I believe that is not a good sign! Thank you.
