Rejection from Bird & Bird post-AC. A bit gutted but felt I gave a good account of myself and prepared well so one of those things I guess... hopefully, the feedback call will be beneficial. Fingers crossed get positive news from Weil!
I'm sorry to hear this! Always remember that the firm you finally get will want you as much as you want them :) That's how I'm trying to look at it anyway.. Best of luck for Weil!

Still haven’t heard back from HSF since passing the test in early January. Is there any chance of a positive outcome or surely this must be a silent PFO?
From my own personal experience HSF certainly take their time. I know someone who is in the same boat as you. I wouldn't take it as a PFO just yet.

Received an AC invite from Ropes & Gray but not a huge amount of information available on it -- anyone been to one of their ACs?

Excited to say i've been invited to an ac at BCLP! It's my first ever ac!

The email just says:

'A drafting exercise, a business style role play, a group negotiation and a competency based interview with a member of HR or an Associate'.

Any guidance from someone who has completed at ac with them before would be really amazing :)
Well done!!

Really sorry to hear this Daniel but you have the most wonderful attitude towards these things and your feedback will help! I know how much you like Weil and I really believe that firms can tell when a candidate is dedicated to them!! This is all fantastic experience for you and I have everything crossed for you with Weil too!! :) :)

Although not quite a training contract yet, I'm happy to say I have a summer vacation scheme place with Simmons & Simmons. Thank you to everyone that's offered support or tips or answers to my questions. I hope from here it will be only onwards and upwards, for me and everyone else still working hard to get where they want to be. I'd be happy to share my tips in general or for Simmons assessment centres too

Congratulations!! Well done :)
