There’s two stages for FF, one in June and one in July. Idk how many people get through to each.​

 

[StressedByAMountainOfBooks]

Are FF invites rolling or is that it?

 

[QuillandCounsel]

Has anyone heard from RS or an estimate of when they'll start sending out ACs or PFOs? I sent my app out nearly 3 weeks ago

Oh dear so long to wait!

For BM, if what is said is true about one wave of applicants advancing to the AC and no PFOs have gone out yet, I am more inclined to think there is a chance it's done in at least two waves. Especially, since past cycles have included more than one AC.

Lets stay strong and give it until the end of next week before losing hope.

Does anyone know when we hear back from Greenberg Traurig (GT) post-AC? the wait is killing me

They usually do 4-6 ACs

The fact that TC applications are sounding like we are all at war is really getting to me, lmfao it shouldn’t be like this hahaha

We should hear back around next week

I hate that the TC process is so not transparent. It is really frustrating that it has become normalised for law firms to keep applicants in the dark. Like with Ashurst, if they were handing out ACs long ago, why not give out PFOs.

Hi,

Would anyone be interested in checking each others’ written responses and give feedback? I really need an outside perspective!

Someone I know got an AC invite around first week of July last year, so maybe around that time period?

 

[Aspiringlawyer_]

Sorry to ask again but still nothing from KN? Anyone? The wait is killing me

I’m waiting to hear back too. Hopefully they’ll let us know by the end of the day
