    Hey, does anyone know if the elevator pitch at Ropes is something you can prepare for? Or something they give you a scenario about on the AC?

    Weirdly some people privately mentioned Summer offers yesterday, but I’m not sure why they’d do those before Spring today? So hopefully more to come!

    Ropes did this last year to me; and I got the PFO in March 😅 Could be a long time waiting…

    Unfortunately a lot of firms are not 100% honest about when they get back after AC, especially because they don’t want people to worry and chase them. But also maybe that person had another offer, and therefore asked RPC to get back to them early. You really can’t read into much.

    I hope so Although, I had this last year and then got a PFO from Ropes about a month after everyone else 😅
