Invite to first stage interview: 8 Jan
This is for the Spring VS.
Cooley Summer VS PFO post app. I applied on the 27th Dec for anyone who is wondering.
However, legit 5 mins after I got a Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher first stage interview invite lmfao.
This process is so crazy and varied. I got these emails while doing my Freshfields interview.
Cooley must be gangsta then cos at the open day the partners and associates were firing shots at the administration at every opportunity they could find. They brought up representing Jenner & Block in fighting against their executive order and how they are still standing for DEI as a firm unlike...
I relate to this as someone with 3 young brothers who cannot be quiet for longer than 2-3 mins. In my Weil VI, I had to give grad rec the heads up that there’d probs be background noise. It didn’t help that my neighbours had decided to begin house renovations at the same time either. So there...
It took c3 weeks for me. I applied mid Dec and got the test on Monday. Idk if Xmas and NY meant it took longer than usual though. I’m also a fiend for restructuring so hoping Akin or Weil work out!
Does anyone know what a strengths-based style of interview would entail? I have one for Freshfields tomorrow and ngl I’ve got no idea what to expect or how to prepare for this at all lmao.
Grad rec vs partners fighting over when to send out ACs. Who’s gna win? I think it’ll be grad rec…
I haven’t even applied to Bakers and I’m acc super invested in this entire conspiracy theory now too…
If it helps I’m scheduled to take the stage 2 test as a TI on Thurs. They sent this to me in Nov and it took them 2 months just to arrange adjustments. I imagine ACs for DTC will be late Jan tbh…
Yeah I’m in a similar situation to you. I applied for the Weil VS early Nov and received the SJT and VI on 24/11. I sat the SJT on 14/12 and did the VI with early careers on 17/12. I’ve seen people applied after me and/or who took the test after me get sent PFOs so idek what to think tbh.
They said during my VI we’d hear back early Jan so if that’s still the case, we should hear by Friday (otherwise it’ll no longer be early Jan).
They might have gotten loads of last minute apps though and esp cos of Xmas and NY, there might be some more delays in hearing back.
