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.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I thought I was the only one who felt this way so I’m assuming that it’s a PFO just for that reason. They seemed so disengaged ngl. :(- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Hmm not sure tbh I’ve not seen anything. Idk much about Katten either though tbf. I’m under the impression they will and then they send out waitlist updates and PFOs… Idk how they’re gna narrow down c1,800 apps to just 80 AC invites and around 10 for the waitlist…- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

It’s a WG on steroids but maybe I’m biased cos me and the WG don’t get along at all it seems… :( I’m alr assuming it’s a PFO for Orrick cos there’s no way I’m passing that WG at all lmao.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

If bank station has 1,000 haters, I’m one of them. If bank station has 1 hater it’s me. If bank station has 0 haters, I’m no longer around… If bank station no longer exists, I’ll be happy… That station has to be the most confusing place to exist.

They sent some ACs at the end of Jan but idk if they’re all the ACs and the rest of us are sat here like melons waiting forever for the PFO, or if they are still considering more apps for AC.

I’d assume it’s probs 1,600 apps for the VS, 160 get to VI, 80 get to the AC, 40 VS slots, 10 TCs. Then for the DTC route, maybe 400 apps, 40 get to the VI, 20 get to the AC and then 4/5 TCs. This is just a rough estimate idk the acc numbers but they do get c2,000 apps per year for VS/TCs.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
