RS VS OFFER OMG!

 

[SuccessfulSolicitor]

chased Reed Smith this afternoon (post-AC) and got a PFO phone call 😭

This is what scares me from calling White & Case cause I’d probably start crying on the phone if they called me just to reject me 😭

I chased up RS and they called me to give me the offer. I don't think taking initiative and showing you're interested is a bad thing

Oh I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, it’s great to show commitment but I’m just saying my ego would be bruised if I was rejected over the phone.

It’s like the whole “curiosity killed the cat” idiom.

For HL WG when they say the passing mark is 18 percentile does that mean you need to get more than 18% or in the top 18%?

Just a huge shoutout to the TCLA community. Had a terrible time with nerves before the RS interview and thought I bombed it. Through both periods everyone has been a massive support and to get the RS VS today was just incredible. So thankful to everyone 🎊🎊🎊

Me too!! 🫠 I would just hang up!

Honestly I just wish w&c can send the knife to the heart as soon as they reviewed the app/vi instead of delaying to summer

I am having anxiety issues now

Does anyone know if RS are calling for both rejections and acceptances?

 

[rosec]

Not sure if you guys have seen posts from last year’s thread but I know some ppl applied direct TC last year (July deadline) and they didn’t hear back until like November😭 I think this is typical of W&C

I saw a post from last year where someone was still waiting 2 months post-AC 💀

They are, yes.
