To my best knowledge: Debevoise is non-rolling (Open Day released around the Feb first week), Ropes & Gray (non-rolling), Sidley may start screening spring. Davis Polk, I personally haven't heard anything. TW spring is making the next stage, but I applied summer so the decision for WE they said...
I was overconfident that I could finish one application today, but after the plane and bus journey with my heavy luggage, I completely gave up. Total holiday mood.
Speaking Skadden, Love that I’m away the entire week next week and stressing about whether I can squeeze a laptop into my easyJet allowance… despite not even knowing if I’m getting through to the next Skadden stage. Peak delulu era.😇
Finishing my CC vi- luckily just got my dear laptop back after disaster liquid damage on Friday. o_O This really paused me from keeping applying.o_O As no one would take laptop damage as a good extension excuse.
Honestly I struggled to find the one report you appointed, but I figured out how to access to the portal and found out they filled me two app 2027/2028 route respectively. Hope they are not doing this for fun.o_O
Yes, they emailed me before the DDL of TC and told me I've switched to DTC route as I am graduating this summer and tell me I am expected to be heard back at the end of Nov/beginning of Dec; and I received the PFO for summer on 15th Nov.
Honestly I applied to A&O Shearman summer vs and they automatically changed me to DTC route. I already received PFO and confirmed with them that was a summer PFO. I didn't even have access to Portal rn as they auto changed for me. o_O
