I really liked the questions but my answers were ALL incomplete and even unclear. Oh well. Do you have any idea when we are likely to hear back?

Katten and HL PFO today lol

 

[futureTS03]

Is anyone still waiting on Davis Polk and Latham Summer VS? strange they are taking so long for a PFO

Katten and HL PFO today lol

Katten PFO was above average - they at least managed to put "application unsuccessful" in the subject, rather than the usual ambiguous "Your application to Katten" nonsense, saves time.

For private equity focused firms like Kirkland what are some ways you could justify an interest in private equity without direct experience? i.e. would it be reasonable to say I enjoyed the variety in x experience, and PE involves lots of variation in companies in different industries, or is that reaching/not substantive enough?
