More chances of me winning the lottery than FF ever getting back to me at this point. These guys really don’t want to give adjustments they might as well just send the rejection atp. 🫠- Harvey Specter

Some of these firms (Debevoise, Ropes & Gray and Cooley) are non-rolling and their deadlines aren’t until the new year, so it’s likely you won’t hear back until mid Jan onwards. Idk about all of the other firms though. Akin Gump is super rolling from what I gathered at their open day.- Harvey Specter

It probably depends on if you’ve got extenuating circumstances and/or flagged as contextual too, because I only have ABB A-levels and whilst I’ve gotten a high 2:1 in my degree, I had several 2:2 modules but I had mitigating circumstances. The majority of my modules were strong 2:1 or above but...- Harvey Specter

The first test is automatic but grad rec will send it manually. I’d assume that means they are still open to considering apps. They will send the second test once you pass the first test.- Harvey Specter

Do law firms that use AllHires monitor our app progress? Debevoise sent me an email to remind me about their deadline and to fill in the rest of my app lmao. Is this normal? 🥲- Harvey Specter

Milbank stage one test invite! Applied yesterday. Is this test an SJT? Does it contain VI questions or is there a WG? Would appreciate any insight!- Harvey Specter

If it’s a short form with 2-3 x 250 word questions then probably 2-3 days. I just sent off my Akin app which had 6 x 250 word questions and that took me at least a week. In terms of hours, It’s at least anywhere between 8-20. Some people can finish apps faster others slower. Certain apps can be...- Harvey Specter

It said on the link it’s an amberjack test but yeh it’s baso an SJT. It had some maths questions and some text passages you have to extract certain information from. Then there are 4 video response questions (I’m doing them sep over zoom as an adjustment so will see how that goes). Overall it...- Harvey Specter

I attended a Mishcon open day and wrote Mischon every single time I referred to the firm. They still let me slide so perhaps it’s firm dependant. Was such a rookie error lmao. Smh. 😂- Harvey Specter

They’re rolling to the extent that they review our apps and video interviews on a rolling basis. All apps are reviewed regardless of when they were submitted. Same for video interviews. The third stage is a written exercise which I don’t think is going to happen until late Jan. Idk for sure. I...- Harvey Specter
