Has anyone heard from Paul, Weiss this week post-interview?

I hope you don’t mind me asking, was your interview for spring or summer?

 

[SophiaW]

Just got the White & Case written exercise for spring/summer. Does anyone have any insights they would kindly shareee (even from the winter cycle)

 

[marshall]

is it a PFO for not getting W&C WE? BTW has anyone heard back from HSF for summer?

yesss girl congratulations!!!

 

[marshall]

i want to know so too... lmao been staring at my email for the past hour

I know I did terribly for the VI

 

[user24710026]

I presume if I have heard literally nothing since applying on 13 October (besides automated SJT+WG stuff) that W & C are just going to leave me hanging for months again?

This was for Summer VS

Wait-

If I’ve not received the W&C VI yet am I assuming it’s over for me or?

Sounds like we are in the same boat haha, when did you apply? And what for?

 

[Novaa]

I think if you've applied for summer it might be slightly safer! Surely they're moving on spring ppl first since the scheme is soon lol

Omgg wait I did summer, Elle saves the day!

Feeling: reassured

Applied: 11th Jan
SJT Complete: 12th Jan
Scheme: Summer

Wbu?

Haven’t heard from HSF Kramer yet!

 

[Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner]

So W&C is App -> VI -> WE -> Interview -> VS -> TC (lol)

They added an SJT and WG as part of the initial app stage too so it ends up looking like this:

App + SJT + WG -> VI -> WE -> Live VI -> VS and then finally the TC. Long process lmao.

I was sat here trying to figure out how the live VI would work then I realised LOL

 

[Mvla]

Can I just say y'all are soo funny, and I would've had many mental breakdowns this cycle if not for these jokes cuzzz

 

[marshall]

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether Debevoise or HSF or Gibson Dunn or King & Spalding or W&C are better in international arbitration and also public international law? Thanks! What might be the subtle differences between them in these areas?
