    Just got done with the Paul, Weiss SJT. First time I did the Amberjack and have no idea how I did. I got high in both applied verbal and numerical intellect but my pillars were 7436 lol.

    Same just got my PFO right now as well (I only applied yesterday a few hours before the deadline). My email also said they would 'encourage me to apply for their vacation scheme'. Did you also get that since I am assuming they sent a generic email to everyone they rejected.

    I applied for King+Spalding's Insight Day and was rejected due to a lack of space. However, in the same email they invited me to their second virtual insight day being held later if I was to be interested.
