Anyone have any insights for Foot Anstey amberjack?

If I haven't heard back from DLA since passing the WG over a month ago, do I email them? Esp since they are sending out ACs

they told me that ACs are in jan but they may well do more and it took like 2 months for me to progress after WG- keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I have my Milbank ac in 3 days. What recent news events or trends in markets do you think I should be aware of going into this? I've been successful at ACs and interviews at international firms but this is my first US firm AC. So any advice would be super appreciated!!

Congrats! When did you hear about the AC? I applied, but had issues with the second stage, which meant I had to repeat it but heard nothing since?

Hey guys, does anybody know if on the AG application portal there is any place where we input our university modules and grades? From what I can see they just ask for the overall degree, but it seem highly unlikely they wouldn't want more info....

That’s all they need. There is no space for individual grades.

For people who have received an AC from Kirkland, what date is your AC on?

Hey guys, I’ve seen one person on this thread receive an AC from HSF Kramer for the Spring Vac, has anyone else received an AC? I haven’t received a PFO nor an AC invite so just interested to know. Thank you!

Did Milbank Stage 1 early December, heard nothing since… why won’t they send a PFO already?? I doubt I’ll get Stage 2 now
