    MAYER BROWN AC😭😭😭

    I’ve gotten 11 post app PFO’s this cycle and was beginning to loose hope. This is my first progression this cycle.

    I will appreciate any insights anyone has.💜💜💜

    I applied for both spring/summer. I didn’t indicate any particular preference.
    Congrats!!!

    I think someone earlier on the thread said they got an email on 2nd Feb to do a TI with Sidley

    guys for anyone waiting on mishcon summer post sjt im gna dare to send grad rec an email asking about whether they have a rough timeline for when we’ll be hearing back. will keep u updated😍
    I contacted them the other day as I applied for Spring and was told I would hear back by end of January and I still have radio silence (maybe I emailed the wrong email? Has anyone else who applied for spring who hasn't got an AC invite heard back about PFO's or anything?
