Any Covington updates?

Few people were invited to AC yesterday evening - no news since. I’m not sure if they invite people in batches either

If anyone has tips for Goodwin first stage interview, it would be much appreciated. Is it completely competency based + understanding of the firm? Do they test commercial awareness as well? The email says no preparation needed, so I wonder what kind of questions could be asked.

Hi, @axelbeugre, It would be great if you have any tips Thank you

Anyone heard back from Weil after VI?

I got a Weil AC last night and applied on the deadline!

Does anyone know when we should expect to hear by for V&E or MoFo?

Still waiting on MoFo as well, I know someone on here that had a first round interview scheduled, but they applied in November.

I applied in Jan and am still waiting

Hey guys, if we haven't heard from W&C for spring/summer is it safe to assume a PFO?

 

[ljms]

Akin PFO post-test.

Does Akin allow reapps in the next cycle or do you have to wait 12 months?

 

[danturner]

Does the current Baker McKenzie test include a VI? Not the one last year. Thank you!

 

[Alexandramanning12]

has anyone just received an email from akin saying they are still reviewing assessment scores?
