Kirkland rejection after a month wait. 1 day after I emailed them (((

Same, I'm wondering if they're even doing VCs this year tbh

According to their FAQ, there are only 4 TC spots in London 😂😂

 

[whoknew]

Side note, Ropes & Gray Grad Rec should get an award for efficiency.

They got back to all candidates within 19 days post app.

Got all ACs and all offers and post AC rejections out within 1 month of AC invites.

I don't think any other firm has it down to a tee like that

I wanted to send pics of my pizzas to my family. I took a day off because I am so stressed with work and starting with my apps tomorrow

I received a reply for them today- I asked for a status update on my application and they just said they are swamped at the moment and will get back to me as soon as they can

I see. I asked for an update in late february and I got the same answer. If I may ask, what stage of the process are you currently at?

I did my TI in December, so it's odd that they couldn't just reply to my chase email with an outright rejection...

Has anyone heard from Baker McKenzie post-AC yet?

Is this for summer VS

 

[LegalNim]

I just had a missed call from a mobile number I don't recognise (no previous texts from it or anything) and nothing coming up on Google. I thought it might be a firm calling but from home (although I assumed they'd have a redirect or something) - has anyone received their firms phone calls with a mobile number showing up? (I'm reluctant to phone it back because I don't know who it is).
