I emailed them just now! I chased them before my application got progressed to first round interview. They didn't respond to it and then inv'd me to round 1 interview about a week later, so don't lose hope.- M777

Not sure what's going on with Gibson- I did my round 1 interview about 2 weeks ago but have heard they did second round interviews and made some offers last week. As for MoFo, I've heard absolutely nothing either. I emailed them for an update and they never replied to me- M777

Mayer Brown Phone Interview
Sorry to get your hopes down, but they phone interviewed me in late December and never responded to me since. They're notoriously unresponsive.- M777

Yeah, I'm afraid they're one of the much slower firms to reply. Don't take it personally.- M777

Hey man, don't sweat it too much. I applied in December and I had assumed the worst as I applied nearly 4 months ago, meanwhile other people on here have done round 1 and 2 interviews + one person got a VS. I had completely written it off. I assumed it was gonna be like another firm I applied...- M777

I think it's definitely worth remembering the principle that ACs are as much about you finding out if the firm is the right fit for you, as much as they're trying to see if you're a right fit for them. I know it sounds like a massive cliche and total nonsense, but it really does ring true. If...- M777

Yeah, I saw someone on here who did their TI same day as me. Emailed them in mid january to chase and never heard back. It's pretty annoying after investing all that time into the application process, but there's nothing I can do about it and ghosting is commonplace in this game sadly- M777
