    Yeh, I am also focusing mainly on the case study as the moment as it seems to be the more difficult component of the AC from what I've heard. The only frustrating thing is that it is quite difficult to prepare for due to the fact we cannot see the case study until the interview

    Has anyone tried to contact Faegre Drinker? I tried to email their Grad Rec but my emails won't send because the recipient email is not active? Not sure how else I can contact them

    Soooo frustrated, my W&C interview was going so well until the last question which completely threw me and I had no clue what to say. So annoying throwing away an application you've worked so hard on in literally 20 seconds. Can only blame myself though for not doing enough research.
