    I've applied to Bakers in the past 2/3 hrs before the deadline and got through to their AC, so I assume not.

    I've totally had this experience recently... I almost teared up during my interview thinking it all went south to be informed later by grad rec that they received "great feedback from my interview" and invited me to the next stage. I was in shock haha!

    How do you guys get over post AC rejection? Literally, this AC went so well (in my opinion), did well in the case study, associate interview etc and at this point I feel like this is just impossible.

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    I think that's probably a good idea!! It's just that I worry I don't use all the time beforehand but I agree that over prepping is probably only going to make me more stressed out! Thank you!

    As far as I am aware, they wrote we will find out whether our VI has been successful "by no later than 7th May". I haven't seen any date for Monday

    Can someone who has previously done the Baker McKenzie video interview confirm whether their status changed to "Reviewed"? I am worried mine was never reviewed last year as it still says "finished" and I really hope that's not the case this year too... patiently waiting for the outcome!
