I got post-AC rejection for TLT & Walker Morris today. I really love & admire your attitude! It is highly motivating, and it does only take one yes, that is absolutely correct

Have you booked the feedback call? I have - I think I know where I went wrong, but I want to find out if they noticed the things that I thought were bad, or if it's something different entirely.

RPC rejection post AC this was my first in person AC, I learnt a lot, gonna keep on pushing!

For Gibson Dunn and Dechert probably not worth waiting but I think for MoFo as they’ve only just began interviews it’s probs too early to assume a PFO. Not sure for Linklaters at all tbh.​

Links are an interesting one. Their holding email way back when said that it was ACs only in January and Feb (for Summer), but I emailed GR earlier this week asking about the status of my application (as it has been ages and I was in the 90+ percentile for WG), and they said they are still looking at applications.

How much I believe it is one thing, but taking it at face value, it's not a PFO just yet if they haven't got back to you.

Did you get a voice interview?

 

[Maria123]

Don’t worry! Rejection is normal (I’m in the same boat so this is directed to me as well ). Defo a learning experience for sure tho

Yepp I admire the positive attitude! I wasn't expecting an offer tbf because I knew I did badly in that one I just hope the feedback is useful

guys I wanted to ask, how much do firms consider extenuating circumstances when it comes to individual module grades? I have a 2:1 and everything but I had genuine unfortunate circumstances which systematically impacted my time and studies at university. Am I safe to believe that top firms will understand that?

depends on the firm, what are your top firms? links require a 2:1 in every module, HSF i got through with two 2:2s with mit circs, clifford chance are a bit more lenient if you have a 2:1 overall - those are just my insights so far!
