I think Macfarlanes and Morgan Lewis allow you to re apply in the same cycle if PFOd post app for the VSs. These DTCs are both still open.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

The date they give in the email is the day they will send out all the PFOs. They’ve done that for a while now. So the 29 May date is rejection day. The people that will progress to the WE will start to hear back pretty soon. That could be next week or early May, but not long left now tbh.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Ashurst should start sending WEs out next week or early May, if they follow last years’ timeline. Mayer Brown said in the SJT VI email that ACs are in July so no reply until around June 30.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I can’t believe I’m writing this tbh but in addition to these, I recently received VS offers from Ropes & Gray and Sidley Austin! It seems all of the PFOs so far have been worth it! 😅- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Most of us got post AC feedback almost a month ago like a few weeks after the VS offers were out, so idek why they’re airing you. It says a lot about them as a firm though, so we dodged a bullet there for sure. Hopefully you hear back soon!- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I think Covington and Slaughters are also app and AC only. Fried Frank and MoFo have two sets of interviews or ACs each but both are in person. I think Cleary, Fried Frank, Orrick, HSFK and Links use the WG test or SJT to filter before AC. I think Ashurst and Dechert have a WE before AC.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Nah I’m just guessing based on what I’ve seen on last cycles threads and app timelines. Usually it seems they send WE end of Apr to early May, ACs mid to end of May and final ints are in June. Ofc this could vary slightly this year. The 29 May date in the email they sent last week is the PFO...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
