Honestly… my tactic of applying at the beginning of deadlines clearly does not work for some firms

CMS AC invite and AG VI completed in the same day! Just need a PFO now from a firm to complete the set and bring me back to reality

anyone who applied for dechert around november end, have you heard back?

 

[sxw517]

does anyone know if Baker mckenzie WG is just a pass then you get progressed onto VI, or is it assessed with your app?

It took quite a while for me to get a VI invite post-WG (around 1.5 weeks), so I presume that it may be assessed again

Skadden said their ACs are at the end of January so probably within the next couple of weeks. My TI is on 11th Jan

Oh my god you made me jump out of my seat with joy I applied on the deadline as well!! Congratulations

thanks for this! do you mind letting me know where you heard this ?

it’s a pass and get progressed I believe! as the app is assessed beforehand so only those with apps that pass the recruiter review would be sent the WG (and then those who meet their WG threshold go through to the VI)

ngl i’m getting really nervy about my HSF summer vac scheme… it was the top firm i was gunning for and i’ve seen a lot of PFOs going around… have not received one but have also not gotten an AC invite and i’ve seen some people getting it could it be because i applied a day before the deadline lol

Hey! When did you apply to Akin?

 

[cyberjaz1116]

If HSF has already sent out spring vs invites is it safe to assume a pfo now

Skadden will be mid-late January. Akin have sent some responses and will do further into January
