At the open day they said every stage is considered holistically but it seems that the AI chat weighs the most as people who received 28+/36 on the SJT haven’t received an invite yet compared to others who received something like 21/36

is this for summer or spring?
Did they mention if they review apps before sending sjt because I haven’t seen any pfos…
I hope they did because I don’t want to waste my time if they didn’t like my app and that chat interview was anyways long
Is there anyone who applied and didn’t get an sjt invite?
Yeah they said the SJT was meant to be selective but I haven’t seen anyone (at least openly on the forum) actually be rejected from them yet so who knows
Only 1 person said they were rejected post app but thats all, the majority have been invitedYeah the said the SJT was meant to be selective but I haven’t seen anyone (at least openly on the forum) actually be rejected from them yet so who knows
Think they’re conducting acs for spring rn and not for summer.I got 22/36 on mishcon‘s SJT (6,6,6,4), high numerical and verbal and thought the chat interview went well …. silence rn thodo you guys think mishcon are just sending out small AC batches?
From some messages on the forum, I am thinking it’s in batches.
Edit - please let me know if I am wrong and if someone has got an ac for summer. (I am yet to take my sjt).
No clue. I have 18/36 which I imagine is below what they'd want but whatever, hope they take into account my high numeral and verbalI got 22/36 on mishcon‘s SJT (6,6,6,4), high numerical and verbal and thought the chat interview went well …. silence rn tho
. Nothing here so far though.
I get the point of not sending pfos as they might send them all together later (I don’t agree with this approach tho). There might be people who didn’t get an sjt at all which could also mean rejection at this point? But also no news is good news? Hahaha
Pretty confusing but let me just focus on doing well on the sjt anyways
I feel like the SJT was not at all selective.
I mean think about it - this is the first time they used the chatbot stage, so you can't expect they'll judge their entire selection process based off of something experimental like this.

I’m in the same boat rn, except I applied late November…honestly dk what to thinkI haven’t heard anything from HSF K and did my app in October idk if that’s a good or bad sign
From the messages and what I read about small and few ac slots, invites maybe in batches.i applied for spring
No news is good news, best of luck
Yeah similar for me (19/36 but high numerical + verbal). Maybe they look at everything but who knows.No clue. I have 18/36 which I imagine is below what they'd want but whatever, hope they take into account my high numeral and verbal
Would like to improve my amberjack pillars but not sure if the practice i did actually helped or put me more in my head loll
Has anyone heard from Sidley for spring/summer vac scheme?
Is anyone still waiting for GD for summer, I submitted my app in September. Should I email grad rec?
Me seeing all of these posts about Mishcon as an outsider who didn’t apply so has no idea what yous are talking about re the AI chat and SJT:
