    Do we reckon Mayer Brown are releasing rejections and AC invites in batches? Didn't hear back today but seeing some of the amberjack scores that people have been PFO'd with is getting me nervous...

    Anyone got any tips on how to approach this question for W&C? (the fact that it's rolling and I'm doing it the day before the deadline accurately represents my mental state right now 🤣) 'Discuss a deal that White & Case has advised on in the last two years.
