Ah really doubt Willkie is getting back to me today. I think we must be in the ‘maybe’ category. At least that’s better than a no I guess
Received PFO from DLA today kind of expected but still stings
Hey! Has anyone received a reply from Davis Polk?
rn I'm just trying to wind down and take a break, get back to work on applications later cos I think I really need it, at least I had a useful chat with my uni's careers service today (different person from the usual) and I've got a better idea on how to fix my application answers.
But honestly, probably just taking walks and minimising screen time. I'm a night owl (like you? or maybe it's just the busyness of the cycle getting to you idk
) and I think I've realised I've just not been getting enough natural light plus the rejections and generally taxing nature of these applications is getting to me. So yeah maybe going out and having walks is a good thing. Something I used to do in the past to "detox" as well was not even put on music or a podcast or anything and go out and walk for 1-2 hours, just trying to be tech-free (I don't have a watch so I carry my phone with me as a clock at the very least) and feel the breeze
Should i assume a PFO from Gowling lmao? I couldn't sit the arctic shores test as part of my RA and I have heard nothing from them...
Do I email them or is this a sign to leave them alone

Congrats! Can I ask when did you apply? I applied on 8/12 and haven't heard any back yet
e.g. Describe a time you demonstrated resilience/teamwork/adaptability, etc.
I disagree with this. Yes this forum provides good application advice, but it also creates a community. I enjoy hearing how other people are dealing with this application period, it can be stressful and it's nice to know you aren't alone. If you're looking for something specific you can use the search tool. Alternatively, considering it's just a few messages every now and then it can't amount to more than a page of text which takes all of 30 seconds to skim.
in the nicest way possible - you can always just choose not to engage with their post if you don't find it valuable. Not every post will be valuable to you i.e. bc people are discussing firms you've already been rejected for / ineligible for / or simply not interested in. You can treat their posts in the exact same way. I think it's unfair to police what people post if it isn't contravening TCLA's policy; it is ok for people to simply share how they're feeling etc, especially if other people are engaging with said posts.
I kind of second this. The lego and nap comments made me feel less insane for trying to get back to colouring/making puzzles like we all used to as kids
(god i feel old having typed this)
Exactly what I’ve been crying about and imagine they are now conducting acs on a rolling basis.
