Anyone heard from ML, positive or negative?

 

[Lawstoodent]

Anyone got Macfarlanes DTC AC?

 

[mandamasochist]

Has anyone heard anything from Withers yet? Either post interview or AC?

I had my interview in May - haven’t heard anything since. Have they held the AC? If so I guess I’ve been rejected lol

they havent even gotten back to people who submitted months ago, i believe they processed ACs and rejections for people who submitted until like spring-ish, I applied mid May and I have not heard back

Literally just got the PFO now

not necessarily, i mean i lost all hope, but also it's a very small team and they process the applications in a very different way, besides, based on last year, they were still doing ACs and inviting this time round. no sense to leave the applications open till July 16th if they hire from an AC before july 16th. with that said, the benchmark is crazy high now.

Has anyone heard from Boodle?

 

[TCGrad1642]

Does anyone know when we can expect to hear from SH? Feels like I did the VI years ago!

 

[alice64]

Has anyone heard back from Reed Smith after the AC?

[StressedNotBlessed]
