I haven’t heard anything either. I have only seen one person on this forum get invited to an interview. I believe they call instead of emailing too.

I was just expecting a 'nice' interview from reading previous posts on here, etc about my skills and why Skadden. It sounded like it was very chilled. However, I found my interview to be quite commercial heavy. I guess it's my fault for not being prepared enough. We live and learn :)
