Still waiting on white & Case, Weil & Sidley Austin. All applied around a similar time with Weil & Sidley both between dec 3-8 and White & Case 16th. Should I assume a rejection cause it’s pretty long now haha

I'm waiting on Weil and White & Case too. I know they get back to people at different times - all I can say is no news is good news.

Has anyone heard back from Hogan Lovells post-WG for the direct TC?

Just did a VI where I completely froze for about 5 seconds and then panicked and said six-seat instead of seat structure!

Has anyone ever had any success where the VI has been a complete car crash? I really liked the firm too and but I just feel like I messed up so bad.

Congrats!
No news from Kirkland for me yet so I'm getting a bit anxious- also, what day is the assessment center for you?

Waiting myself! Mind asking when you have submitted the app?

 

[T1]

I think I saw on a thread that people heard back from Pinsent masons last Friday

Oh dear, I was thinking no news might be good news but it seems not.

Hopefully one or two mistakes won't make a difference. I once did two VIs back to back. The first I had prepared a lot before and my answers sounded rehearsed, the second I did less preparation and sounded a lot more natural (despite hesitating more, answers less structured). I got the second and rejected from the first. So hopefully if you still said some good things, showed a bit of your personality, you should still have a chance!

I did the same for Kirkland's VI was just sat in silence for last 10 seconds lol mad awkward.

Somehow got the AC so I think if your other answers were good firms won't be too harsh. Good luck !

Got a Davis Polk interview next week

Huge congrats to you on both!!

Mine is January 29, the day after my birthday so hopefully I get a bit of birthday luck haha. Fingers crossed for you Max!

Good luck Daniel and may the birthday be a good omen.

Huge congrats to you on both!!

Really sorry to hear Mark! We've all been there and are all here for you my friend! As brutal as this process is and trust me I know it's much easier said than done, just try and learn from it - something good is just around the corner

I am so sorry Mark, I really am and completely understand how you feel. It's a very challenging road but as Daniel says, try to learn from it and move forward. You are not alone I promise you. Keep pushing forward.
