Anyone else still waiting for Gibson Dunn? starting to loose hope now.

I’m still waiting, but I did apply quite late

 

[Samar]

How long do people wait before contacting grad rec about an application? Feel like my White & Case one has been ages but also don't want to highlight it and get rejected hahaha

 

[PEN1]

Has anyone heard back from Weil post-AC or know when we are likely to hear back? Thanks!

I applied around Xmas but went to the Open Day. I'm getting a little concerned too.

 

[AAS18]

Does anyone know how long FF take to get back to you post-WG?

 

[FutureCity]

if you thought being left on read by a girl/guy was bad, imagine being left on read by a law firm...

I emailed them and they said my application is still under review..

Anyone heard from Hogan Lovells post AC?

 

[M777]

Anyone heard from V&E post-VI?

 

[FW]

Secured a vacation scheme with Mishcon De Reya and just received an AC invite for Addleshaw Goddard's London office

Happy to answer any questions!

Massive congratulations!!

How was the Mishcon interview?

 

[SRW]

Also, has anyone gotten an invite to the Baker McKenzie AC? I did my VI 2-3 weeks ago and haven't heard back...

I'm still waiting as well! First AC is 28th Feb so I bet they'll send invites literally the week before.

If you don't mind sharing, when did you complete the tests?

 

[Holly]

Would anyone who's been successful with the BCLP application be happy to go through my BCLP application?

More than happy to help where I can. PM me!

 

[MVE49]

Does anyone know if FF provides you with your test score for the critical thinking test? As I know some firms don’t issue it out.

Don’t think they do

Just gonna say this quick- I got my A&O rejection today and feeling honestly gutted. Only FF left this cycle and I did the WG on a very ‘low’ day and so worried I probably haven’t met the benchmark. Not too sure what went wrong with A&O and feedback could take time so closure isn’t an imminent possibility. I will be ok but just feeling really sad that I come so close to then fall at the final hurdle every time. Genuinely don’t feel like I can take many more of these setbacks so gonna really assess my situation these next few days. That wasn’t actually as quick as I expected but thanks for your continued support everyone. I just hope one day I might have good news for you guys too I don’t mean this to sound hypocritical as I always tell you guys it’s when not if, and I wholeheartedly believe that. But it’s important to weigh up the damage being caused in the process of all this and I’m just needing to take time to reflect. I really do believe good things come to those who wait and deserve it so I hope my headspace will be better as this week goes on.

Aww so sorry to hear this You've been amazing on this forum! All your support is much appreciated Alice. And I believe that everything happens for reason. Freshfields is the firm for you! Keeping my fingers crossed and remain the positive person you are and dont let this knock you down.
