Does anyone know when RPC or PMC aim to get back to candidates - assuming a rejection at this point!

RPC said by end of Feb at latest. Only way RPC reject me is if rolling basis has scuppered us. Head would be on Pluto if this happens.

Can’t find the link to apply anywhere?

I think they only had a random LinkedIn post and the deadline passed on Feb 3rd.

Did anyone apply for Proskauer Rose TC?

I interviewed with them last year, and from my impression they only made offers to their internal paralegals

No Orrick WG for me… assuming a PFO?

I'll give it another day or two... 😭

Thank you so much. Genuinely feel like I've been waiting months and months for outcomes! I have seen a few AC invites on the forum so not really sure if they are running anymore.

Has anyone heard back for CRS’s summer vacation scheme? I know people have got VIs but I’m trying to figure out whether they’re doing spring and then summer or whether it’s all sent out in one go

What was the interview like out of curiosity?

anyone heard from FF about TC AC post WG?

got the ac invite today!

 

[Jessica Booker]

That’s great! So they wouldnt rescind your offer if you say you need more time to do other vac schemes?

Highly unlikely - the most negative outcome is most likely to be that they don’t offer you an extension of the offer period and therefore you have to make a decision within the time limit.

Hi guys, I have accepted an offer of internship through 10,000 Interns programme but my spring application for a VS has been switched to summer due to lack of spaces and I was offered an AC - if I were to get on the vac scheme would there be any consequences for backing out of the summer internship?

No - there wouldn’t really be any consequences beyond not being able to be considered for a TC conversion process.

That’s interesting, there’s literally no info on this. Is this a policy they have?

I emailed grad rec my CV and Cover Letter

 

[APGCA]

Has anyone done the trowers AC and can share some insights

I never stated it was their *policy*, but you can just search on linkedin for their current trainees to infer that they prefer their own paralegals to other candidates

They will do them all in one go. I put Spring as preference and have not heard back.

When I interviewed with Slaughter and May it took them around a month to get back to me and I ended up receiving a VS offer. With Milbank, I only heard back two weeks afterwards and also got an offer. While some firms will respond very quickly, others spread out ACs over a longer period of time and/or simply have more drawn out decision-making processes. As such, there is not much you can infer from the wait time. I know how difficult it is, but try to get your mind off what the outcome will be. I found it useful to channel the post-AC anxiety into applications-related efforts; as that kind of work made me feel like at least I was doing all I could to prepare for the worst case scenario.

Hi Andrei, still haven't heard back and it's been 2 weeks now. Do you reckon its worth sending an email or would that show a lack of patience?
