Aspiring Solicitors has been my saving grace for this cycle and I’ve used them in preparation for my upcoming AC which is with a partner firm.
People can arrange mock interviews and contact mentors, who are usually associates or partners from those firms, who can provide advice too!
AS also...
They screen apps for eligibility then send stage 1. If you pass stage 1, then stage 2 is automatic. If you pass stage 2, then your VI responses from stage 2 are reviewed with your app in depth before they decide whether to invite to AC. Peak tbh but that’s how they filter a bunch of people…
I know exactly who you’re oab as well cos I’ve got them on LinkedIn. They’ve acc smashed it out the park. That Kirkland guy has some competition now he might get overtaken soon lmao.
Hi guys,
Looks like it’s time for another app status update so this is the latest version for this thread:
Apps that were rejections:
Winter VS apps:
Jones Day VS post app
HSF Kramer VS post app and test
Paul, Weiss VS post app
Cleary Gottlieb VS post app
White & Case VS post app and test...
Ngl I never thought I’d see the day where WG and okay-ish are in the same sentence…
I’d say in typical WG fashion it’s more like this but you’re probs gna say this isn’t hard either…
I’m very pleased to announce that after waiting an incredible 30 days, I’ve finally received the long-awaited PFO from Covington at 11:32am today.
Unfortunately this means Covington has failed to make it past 4th place on the league tables. I wish them the best of luck in the next cycle. :)...
I’ve not heard anything and I haven’t seen posts on the forum from anyone that they’ve heard. I think they’ll get back to us between the end of Feb and early March. I looked at the thread for last year and it seems this was the timeline.
I’ve seen a few people post TC offers on LinkedIn from Gibson Dunn for this cycle so I’m assuming they’ve been progressing VS and DTC apps, but it may be DTCs were for earlier intakes.
It’s strange though cos I sent my app just before Xmas Eve and my AC is in less than 2 weeks (for the VS)...
Sidley, Travers and Covington are probs gna break Milbank’s current world record for longest wait for a post app PFO. These are the league tables for longest wait post app I’ve got currently:
1st place: Milbank (38 days) - RECORD HOLDER
2nd place: Sidley (35 days) - CATCHING UP???
3rd place...
The online immersive assessment is stage 1 so in that test it’s just SJT, WG and proof reading.
The job simulation is stage 2 and that’s got an SJT, written task and 3 VI questions to answer.
I’ve got a few 2:2 modules too with mit circs and I’ve progressed with a few US firms post app like Akin, Debs, Gibson, Weil and Willkie (a few other firms too). Like you most of my modules are over 65% with a good number of 1sts, so I think these module marks are not gna look bad at all. It...
