Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought those with WG invites were Spring applicants? Personally, I got the email and I am a Summer applicant so I wasn't expecting to get a quick response.

yeah that’s true about the spring applicants as far as i know

People who applied near the deadline for Milbank, how long did it take to get an update post stage 1 assessment?

I applied the day before the deadline, got the test invite within 1 working day, completed the test on Tuesday and waiting to hear back. They did have an AC yesterday so there may be a delay in getting back

Those who got the Cooley holding email, can I just ask, did you submit on the deadline? I did so maybe that’s why we got the holding emails

I applied for spring, but received the holding email cos I applied late December. Deadline was 01/01

 

[ilikelaw]

either way if theyre saying they received a high volume of strong applicants that’s very scary 😭

People who have done Milbank stage 2, when did you hear back?

Cooley PFO- those with holding emails are probably in the clear!

Does anyone have any insight into whether Latham will be hosting more AC's at all, particularly for Spring? Hearing nothing is so painful 💔

Didn’t realise people already did.

I applied on the day of the deadline.

 

[Donuttime]

Why is Cooley giving Squid game vibes 😭

 

[Donuttime]

The fact that the next stage for Cooley is WG does that mean they read app and determine who’s invited to WG

Standard law firm questions - why law, why gibson dunn, discuss your background + explain the type of teams you worked at (if you worked somewhere etc.).

It was enjoyable although I felt like I blabbed on and on for some time.

Thank you so much! Approximately how long did it last for?
