Sorry to hear about the PW PFOs, I understand for many it is a dream firm. I was fortunate enough to make it through to interview and will be very happy to offer my advice (once the winter is over) for the app stage should people want it
Paul, Weiss WVS PFO. Expected it since it was my first VS application ever
• Plenty of spelling and syntax mistakes and generic response on 1st essay as I was rushed to apply 3 hours before the deadline.
Just take it as a reflection and moving forward. On the email it's stated to apply next cycle, not allowed to apply next scheme.
For those who recieved a Paul Weiss PFO, would be interested to see your application answers. I remember two people posted a section of their app answers- this was unsolicited and a general discussion , one person was successful while the other was not. But everyone on the forum was very good at commenting and giving feedback.
Just interested to see the depth of the answers tbh.
