how soon after applying to Gibson Dunn have ppl heard back from them? Hearing of ppl getting interviews etc and I only applied last week so kinda worried :/
I did and yes they don’t accept LPC candidates.I was looking through the thread w/ Ropes & Gray Grad Recruitment (below) and saw that they won't accept applications from LPC students/graduates...it seems unnecessarily harsh and not logical (especially if individuals are willing to forfeit their exemption and do the entire SQE).
Has anyone emailed them to verify if this is the case or if this rep just got it wrong?

In the University law fair I asked about first year Law undergraduate programs and they said there is a negotiation program. Could not find any information about that on your website and I'm interested to get more information about it. Thank you!www.thecorporatelawacademy.com
Thank you! Seems like a bizarre policy, but I guess that's one less application I'll have to make.I did and yes they don’t accept LPC candidates.
I guess that’s one way to look at itThank you! Seems like a bizarre policy, but I guess that's one less application I'll have to make.
Will they notify Spring and Summer candidates this week or only spring ?I did mine on 14/11 and got the AC invite today.
At the Legal Cheek fair they’d said everyone should hear back this week regardless of when you submitted ☺️
Nevermind friends I am being sillyHow can linklaters give you 5 days to complete the WG if you can't complete the SJT before the deadline without completing the WG
Thank you so much, Jess! Great advice.For everything you think you did wrong, write down something you think you did right, even if it seems quite small/minor.
I suspect the “wrong” things you are highlighting are also minor in the grand scheme of things, so at least it gets you to put some balance into your thinking.
You are definitely reading too much into it. They said they won’t get back to you until the end of the month. There was nothing about your interview that was determining that - instead their recruitment process and that they would still need to review your commercial question. It’s not even an off-hand comment - I would expect them to explain the next stages and what needed to be considered. I would expect all candidates interviewed around the same time as you were told the same.Thank you so much, Jess! Great advice.
Also, I'm probably overthinking things but my interviewer mentioned I'd hear about the outcome of my TI -- and thus invite for AC -- at the end of Dec as they're still at the early stages of the recruitment process. She didn't mention, however, that I'd also have to wait because the firm's partners need to review my commercial question before I can proceed to the AC.
Should one infer that I didn't pass the TI stage or am I reading too much into an off-hand comment? Sorry for the silly question!
If I remember correctly its 2 minutes!Does anyone know how long the recording time is for the VI portion of Simmons' blended assessment?
Bizarre and absurd to say the least.I was looking through the thread w/ Ropes & Gray Grad Recruitment (below) and saw that they won't accept applications from LPC students/graduates...it seems unnecessarily harsh and not logical (especially if individuals are willing to forfeit their exemption and do the entire SQE).

Agreed, hoping Ropes & Gray is the only firm doing this!Bizarre and absurd to say the least.
Considering someone willing to self fund shows great commitment to law and willing to discount the LPC shows great commitment to wanting to be at that firm come what may.
And if they got a high mark in the LPC, pretty much proven they are ready to practise law and pass the SQE with few issues.
I only asked them about the Spring schemeWill they notify Spring and Summer candidates this week or only spring ?
