Has anyone finished the Debevoise App ? If yes, then how ? The app refuses to end there's like 7 questions for 10 TCs what even. But on a serious note how did you end up answering the commercial question specifically the which side would you represent part ?

I’m on this question atm (left it till last). This app has felt like walking up these stairs cos it’s been non-stop and never ending:

[Donna Paulsen]

Out of curiosity - those who made it onto Milbank's stage 2 test, how long did it take to receive an invite?

P.S. Happy new year all! Wishing you all a 2026 full of 'I am delighted to announce...' LinkedIn posts

LITERALLY I am confused because people on here seem worried they haven't gotten the test yet so I don't know?? I am hoping not bc I am submitting now

I’m pretty sure Milbank has been rolling cos a lot of people have alr received AC invites for Spring and Summer VS (LevFin and Trad). Idk if they’re still actively considering apps but if tests are still being sent out I assume there’s a chance?​

I put anything I was paid for in the section above, then everything else like course representative, mentoring schemes, open days, outreach organisations in the bottom.
