I had a look and it seems people heard back w/c 24 Feb around a week before the first AC last year. The first AC date for this year is 3 March, so they will probs send ACs w/c 23 Feb (80 slots). The test is only sent to AC candidates from what I gathered at one of their insight events. I...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

This probs depends on the firm tbf. Some firms are strict on academics (Slaughters, SullCrom, Cleary Gottlieb, Davis Polk and Sidley Austin). Other firms might want a 2:1 in every module but don’t specify whether it should be a low, mid or high 2:1 (e.g., HSF Kramer and Linklaters). I have a...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

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
