Do K&E interview at the AC with your application in front of you for VS?

Here I am PRAYING for a Cooley WG when I’m actually rubbish at WGs

Literally same 😅🫠 only difference is I go in thinking I'll ace it just to be told I didn't meet the benchmark.

Cooley PFO received 12:20, applied 22nd december

Anyone heard from Clyde & Co post assessment?

Also people who applied to WFW and received a VI invite, when did you apply?

Hi
I received the WFW VI today and applied on the 22/12 (I think). I saw people who had applied after me get their VI before so don't lose hope!

MoFo deadline is so cryptic...

Everytime I see this firm’s abbreviation I always giggle

Cooley Summer VS PFO post app. I applied on the 27th Dec for anyone who is wondering.

However, legit 5 mins after I got a Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher first stage interview invite lmfao.

This process is so crazy and varied. I got these emails while doing my Freshfields interview.​

Hi, can I just ask if the Freshfields interview was for SVS or DTC
Hope it went well either way!

Sorry to hear did you receive holding email or straight pfo. Feels like dynamites falling

I hope TW won't delay their results on mid Jan like Cooley, I have no AC - 0 as of today 😔

 

[elle woods]

I am itching to hear back, just absolutely itching 😂

Another day without milbank stage 2
Time to accept the loss and actually prepare for the other 3 tests I need to do..
This process is so overwhelming, the idea of term starting next week makes me spiral even more🎶

Just checked my email from TW with the assessment invite and it states that they would be responding by the end of December with an outcome. I guess there’s a delay🤷‍♀️

No, that's the same case as Spring, it was for those who didn't pass WG (they'll hear end of the month). Check your email at 02/12 it was meant to be mid Jan for the next stage.

Anyone heard from Bristows post app?

 

[Novaa]

Decided to switch on DND, so I don’t get a jump scare notification.

But I’ve just panicked seeing an email from AllHires which was just my login code from earlier.
