Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[J Wu]

Does it ever mean anything when a firm says post-AC that they will get back to you early the following week via phone call regardless of outcome but then proceeds to leave you waiting for weeks (24 days and counting)?

Anyone still waiting for Skadden after AC?

Just received a PFO after an application that I spent hours on - one that I was quite sure was one of my best to date and which was actually reviewed for me by two people, including a current trainee at the said firm. I honestly do not know what went wrong, I am scanning it right now and I keep wondering what they did not like about it.

I still have one AC and a final round interview lined up in the coming weeks so I probably should focus on these two, but man, it hurts

I completely get you - this happened for 2 firms I really wanted this cycle! As much as it sucks and I am sick of hearing it, everything happens for a reason. I just think harsh reflection is the way forward. Best of luck with the AC and final round interview

Rejection from Morgan Lewis post interview. Was expected as my interview was quite odd, and I'm not sure I really fit into the culture there.

Has anyone heard back from Squire Patton Boggs (London office) following the AC last week?

AC with Gowling! Does anyone have any tips?

 

[OB]

Haven't heard back yet from Freshfields direct TC. My portal updated on the third of February. Anyone else in this position or is this a PFO?

I'm also still waiting, portal hasn't updated since 23rd January though

 

[Alice G]

Freshfields AC!!!!

 

[syw]

what does it mean if FF portal has been updated? Mine was updated Feb 6 but have not heard anything urgh

 

[Pallatablelawyer]

Weil Application Rejection!

Anyone still waiting for Skadden after AC?

Just heard back... rejection and they've said they can't provide personalised feedback.

Is this something they all say? Is it a bad idea to follow up and ask for feedback anyway?

 

[Lauren2]

Has anyone completed the Weil AC this cycle and can offer guidance?

 

[Alice G]

what does it mean if FF portal has been updated? Mine was updated Feb 6 but have not heard anything urgh

I didn't check mine at all so sorry i cannot comment - i was sick of tormenting myself with portals etc! I wish you all the best

Me too.. I find it weird that they don’t provide feedback

Not heard back yet too from Squires but I think it's a rejection as I've heard they've made offers last week

 

[tylergab]

When did you apply? I applied on the 27th and I’m just waiting for a rejection now I know people applied after and got invited through!

Applied 29th October, Video Interview invite 17th Dec, AC invite 22nd Jan for the 24th Jan. They're still holding AC's almost a month after I did mine so I wouldn't give up hope, you never really know how the firms sieve through all the apps - hope that helps

I know they made offers for their other offices last week - but not the London one as far as I'm aware?
