    Would anyone be keen to share their successful (made it to AC) application to Orrick? The firm is not included in the database so I would really appreciate some insights. Happy to share my own apps to Slaughter, Cleary, White&Case, and Bristows in exchange x

    The SH holding email made me jump lol, it's always just so ominous when it's an automated email from Candid with the subject being "your application"

    Thanks so much! Totally, I hope I can get feedback soon. My theory for the reason behind the PFO is that I did not prove to them sufficiently that I would have Bristows as my first choice. I have 1 VS coming up with a big law and they did ask for the details of that. I really don't know. But...

    Thank you for the kind words! The questions were indeed brutal, but overall I felt I did fine so was really surprised to receive such a quick no! (Interviewed on Friday, rejected Monday afternoon UK Time) I hope your second round goes well!

    yes it was the 1st round interview. I am also surprised to hear back so soon because the interviewer said it will usually take 1-2 weeks. I genuinely don't think I was that bad to deserve an instant no! But well one never knows haha

    PFO from Bristows following interview on Friday last week. Considering I did the interview with a severe jet lag and only 4 hours of sleep, I still count it a win that I even finished it.... Also the convo felt genuinely engaging and I could click with the partner, but I guess you could never...

    I still have not heard back from Bristows post partner review and holding email. I did my VI later than the rest (probably the last batch), but seeing that people have completed their first round interviews last week, should I email HR to check my application status? The latest email from the HR...

    Got a holding email from Bristows that says the following: “This is just a quick note to say we have had some delay in coming back to you with next steps as we have had some conflicting internal deadlines with our Partners. Not having heard back from us is not an indication either way. We hope...
