I wonder how many apps Ropes will have gotten this year. During one of their webinars this year, I rem grad rec said last year it was 1,750 for 80 AC slots, 30 VSs and 15 TCs. I reckon it’ll be around 2,000 this year which is acc insane! 🤯- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Unpopular opinion from me but Land and Equity >> EU and Public. Contract was my favourite. Idk how to feel about Criminal or Tort though. I liked land law and I was probs the only person that felt this way in my entire cohort lmao.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I’m not sure how many ACs they’re holding but I know a few people with NRF ACs. Perhaps they are sent in batches and NRF are reviewing VIs as they go? I wouldn’t assume PFO just yet tbh.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Yeah I second this too. Tbh I find these WEs are highly unpredictable like I literally fumbled the Skadden WE. I thought I’d cooked on Dechert’s and flopped Willkie’s but then I’d had the complete opposite results (Dechert PFO, Willkie AC). The most important thing imo is planning and...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Would this be the same during the VS? So would there be the same written exercise or interviews during the VS that you’d do on the DTC AC? I’m not entirely sure what their process is cos surely it’s not just the one partner interview pre-VS?- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
