if you do email them, could you please let us know? The silence is killing meYes - might drop them an email bc in the application submission it said we could expect to hear by the end of August but it’s not looking good atm

Yep - rejection post-WG. Interestingly, she also had received a WG extension so had completed it after the last WG deadline.Oh really? Do you know if that was a rejection post-WG?
Also eagerly awaiting this - guessing no ones heard anything since WGI wonder if Hogan will get back this week?
hey,If anyone did the final Farrer interview, can I ask when grad rec said they’d get back to us with a decision? I always forget to ask 😬
hey,
i had the final stage interview 2 weeks ago. they told me they would get back to me in a few weeks, but if i had another interview / offer i should let them know and they will try expedite the process.
i feel we will hear back by this week / next week latest.
They said they are still doing interviews this week. They told me they need 1-2 weeks to respond!If anyone did the final Farrer interview, can I ask when grad rec said they’d get back to us with a decision? I always forget to ask 😬

You're obviously writing really good applications and are just stumbling with something specific, which must be really frustrating. It's not clear if you've rehearsed the actual questions you were given or just something similar but if it's that nerves are getting the better of you, then one way to deal with that is just to normalise it as much as possible. Could you challenge yourself to speak out more in meetings at work or college? Could you practise videoing yourself using Zoom, every day before breakfast?Just did my White & Case video interview.. I had prepared answers for just about every question that showed up and rehearsed them beforehand but when it came to the actual recording I was so nervous that I just couldn't stop stuttering 😭
I got invited to 2 video interviews last cycle and faced the same problem - got rejected from both after the car crash VIs lol. Rn I'm thinking I've screwed up yet another VI and ruined my chances again I'm just very disheartened that I'm not even getting through to AC because I'm struggling so much with VIs
I know that VIs are supposed to help bring your application to life, but can anyone here share tips on how not come across as too tense and how to keep your nerves under enough control to not stutter and speak too fast?
And from a grad rec perspective @Jessica Booker have you ever found yourself still progressing a candidate even though he/she stuttered a bit or seemed a little flustered but still managed to deliver good points across in the recording? Or is it so competitive that only the recordings with good substance in their answers, as well as being well-structured and well-composed (i.e. near perfect) get progressed to the next stage?
Also in case anyone wondering...

Congratulations! Was just hoping to ask when you applied? And is the first round interview the next stage after the written application?Just received a call for a first round interview at Paul Hastings! For people who are still waiting, I was told they’re hoping to do first round interviews Thursday and Friday this week, and potentially Monday and Tuesday next week depending on people’s availability so they should be getting back to people soon!
