Assuming Ropes & Gray still hasn't sent out AC invites, do you guys think they'll be out by next Tuesday? The first date announced is March 5th, which is a week from next Tuesday. Ngl the AC seems very intense, and there's a psychometric test to do before attending it...

I did attend a talk from ropes & gray where grad rec mentioned the psychometric test is used to determine the sorts of questions prioritised in your interview? So if you flag as not being particularly independent/resilient they might probe you more on that than say your communication skills.

So some people have already received AC invites for the 5th of March?

Hi, I'm not sure about that, 5th of March is the first date announced on their website but I haven't seen anyone on TCLA with an AC invite for the 5th. Just assuming that if no one has received an AC yet, then next Tuesday is probably a reasonable last day to expect for AC invites [at least for the 05 March batch, if invites are not sent out all at once]

I have seen a lot of people that have done VIs for Mishcon. Is this for the spring scheme or for the summer also?
😍: applied to summer VS and received/ done VI.
🤝: applied to summer VS and heard nothing.

I've applied to the summer one and heard nothing from them, so wondering whether to assume PFO.

I emailed them regarding the latter and they said they’re still reviewing applications and we should hear back latest end of Feb.

I wouldn't assume PFO as they are still reviewing VIs (summer). When did you do your VI?

I would not assume PFO.
Everyone I know who applied has heard back one way or another :)
