Any PW responses today? 😰

 

[EA95]

To my fellow cohorts still waiting to hear back from PW post SJT… what are we thinking? PFO or there’s a chance AC invites are still going out?

Hoping for the best, expecting the worst at this point.

Has anyone heard from Ropes & Gray? Based on last year’s forum, people began to hear back on the 19th - 21st February. 🥲🥲​

This year, the deadline wasn't until Jan 31, so I wouldn't compare too much with last year

I hope you mean Feb - as their deadline wouldn't have passed(?)

I’ve made this exact same mistake once before on this forum ffs. Yeah I meant Feb and not Jan. Idk what’s going on w/ me at this point. 😂😂​

Just did the WBD assessment - high in verbal and numerical intellect, 7/9 grit, 7,9 applied intellect, 6/9 creative force, 7/9 digital mindset. Does anybody know roughly how long it takes for them to get back to us after this stage?

 

[Adithi]

Does anyone who’s done the Macfarlanes AC have any tips? I’ve got mine coming up and I don’t know what to do to prepare and the exercises that we need to do.

Hi all.

If anyone has any insight into the Cooley AC, I would really appreciate some advice on how to approach it! It is my first in-person AC so I am quite nervous.

Thanks in advance!

Co ask 😩
Please let me know if you find any insights!

Just want to say - 1.) you're honestly so cool - i love history facts + this is honestly one of the best ones 2.) the wheel of fortune thing has also stuck with me for the past few days + has really helped me put things into perspective
Thank you so much for sharing it w us

Haha, thank you that’s so lovely! I’m really, really glad it resonated with you too.

If you ever want to talk about history facts, I LOVE the Wars of the Roses, the Tudors, the Sultanate of Women and Ancient Greek stuff

EDIT: obviously in PMs, I don’t think this thread would care much for my history rants, haha!

 

[Legal Wizard]

Does anyone know if HFW has been sending out post-AC rejections?

Did my interview on Monday and they said the following day was the last day so still making decisions.

 

[BellaC12345]

Has anyone heard from Slaughter and May post AC?

 

[Legal Wizard]

FOOT ANSTEY OFFFFFFFFFERRRR

Jesus, their NQ salary will most certainly see you being broke at the end of the month.

 

[Joey green]

I just received my PW pfo, honestly don’t remember all the dates but I always waited till the very last minute, if that helps

 

[mulan0]

What does it mean if I got 7,9,9,7 on WBDs test but bottom tier on numerical but top for verbal☹️

 

[zq522]

should i assume pfo for mishcon if i haven’t got the vi yet?

Wondering the same thing tbh - hoping that we hear back by cop tomorrow!
