Has anybody heard back at all from Davis Polk & Wardwell about the insight day (either invite or PFO)? I think it takes place next week.

That is confusing as it says graduation year then it says you are not eligible to apply. Unless I am missing something.
Congratulations 🎉🎉, what region and when did you apply if you don’t mind answering?

It says: We allow applications from penultimate year (and onwards) law students and final year (and onwards) non-law students.
I applied and got through initial stage too - so just hoping I am included in 'and onwards'
Ashurst WVS written exercise invite! Does anyone have any insight on how to prepare for this?
Just tried to apply for the PWC vacation scheme as a graduate, it screened me out of the process as not eligible.
