Congratulations + good luck! - Was there a stage before this? applied late so a bit out of the loop with RC - thanks
Has anybody had experience with the Walker Morris AC? Would appreciate any advice 
Hey! I haven't heard from them either. I was just wondering how you know they are sending them out in batches?
I agree, no point limiting myself to paralegal roles. Are there any jobs you’d recommend that value a legal degree or background, or that help build transferable skills?
Have received the SJT for S&S Bristol but haven't completed it yet, haven't heard back from MH post SJT would be curious to know if anyone has as I believe they said they'd let us know by Feb 27. Haven't heard anything from SH or Russell Cooke
is it worth applying to a vac scheme that conflicts with one that I currently have (and prefer) In hopes of switching to the direct training contract process halfway through the vac scheme process? this is because this firm's TC deadline was before their vac scheme deadline ... (@Abbie Whitlock)
(im)patiently waiting or my Akin PFO after applying early Jan and hearing nothing
I heard from someone who is working there, not sure if it’s accurate
Is it safe to assume PFO if I've not heard back from the following (Ik its best to air on the side of optimism but for peace of mind)

I’d say it might be safe to assume PFOs for Orrick and Akin. Gibson Dunn are still sending out VIs and based on last year’s thread, they ran ACs till the end of March. So I wouldn’t assume PFO.
As for K&L Gates I’ve not seen anyone post they have heard anything back from them yet. AG has progressed people to VI and AC but most people haven’t heard anything post WG it seems.

Amazing- thank you so so much!Hey!
I have previously made a few posts on case study interviews - I have quoted a few below! Hopefully they are a useful starting point, but just shout if you have any further questions. Best of luck!!
Ooo do you think I should also assume PFO from Akin if i'm waiting to hear back post-Ti (i did mine like 3 weeks ago
)?
me feeling better about my post-AC rejections after hearing how arbitrary they are and that I’m not the only one:
hearing how arbitrary and classist they can be:

W&C folk - has anyone heard back post final interview for spring/summer?
i’m also still waiting - when did you do yours? i have seen people saying they progressed so i’m guessing pfo
Hi @Abbie Whitlock (@Jaysen and for others generally),
I am getting the feeling that this year's cycle has been more complex and challenging than before, especially with so many post AC rejections. I can't understand if this is due to firm's offering more ACs, just a reporting bias where more people are sharing unsuccessful AC experiences, if any application process changes are contributing to this, or some other reason.
If people have an AC coming up what's the best way to get it right ? I am feeling an increased amount of pressure due to a past failure to convert vacation schemes and unsuccessful ACs. I am assuming many others like me have developed a slight fear of failure where the joy of progressing is often overweighed by the fear of failing at that stage, staking everything on it and all the pressures that come with it, also the paralysis that follows from all this stress but also uncertainty, constant changes to the process, and maybe even increased post AC rejections. I am grateful to have an AC but as I only have one at the moment, I am increasingly afraid that is my only shot at this. I have wasted quite about bit of time in this paralysis and fear of failure before an interview. I was wondering how to make the most of the time I have left so that I feel confident enough in how I perform during the AC regardless of the result ?
I think someone also pointed out that they had contrasting feedback from ACs which messed up their subsequent AC. I had similar experiences, where either an extremely minor point or previous feedback really messed up another interview. How do I get out of my own head, and really focus on this specific interview or AC, without being overly conscious about previous feedback, and also how should I address any questions about why I was unable to convert previous schemes without it seeming like a redflag in terms of my skills or potential ?
I would also appreciate any tips on group exercises as I have not done one for an AC before, and they always seem to be a bit intense!
