Congratulations! I’m still waiting to hear, is the interview virtual or in person?

Congrats! Any idea if they send them out all in one email chain, or in batches?

Virtual, I think given the small time frame would have been a bit mean to have it in person haha

I created a spreadsheet to track applications for this cycle and it has been very helpful. Has anyone else done this or am I just weird?

Hi guys, kind of a random question but has anyone ever gotten a VS offer after feeling like you bombed part of an AC/an AC?

 

[trainee4u]

honestly annoying when so much time goes by so you KNOW you're getting a PFO, but they haven't sent it out yet so it's like stupid pointless thinking that you might have got it even though you really haven't but can't 100% rule it out. Just send the PFO!!!

Usually loafers/small heels/any kind of 'dress shoe'

Nope not Mishcon yet but I swear they said outcomes would be communicated in Feb so maybe later today?

 

[Ashley06]

Nobody heard back post-SJT for Mishcon Summer yet?

 

[TheSaulGoodman]

Has anyone heard from Michelmores / been in contact with Gibson Dunn grad rec for a timeline?

Also for those who progressed with Simmons & Simmons London (congratulations!), what were your amberjack scores? - I just got the feedback report (Bristol office) and I'm feeling a bit dejected regarding my scores
