    I didn't even apply for Latham and I've noticed people doing this (as well as for Bakers).

    I think as a matter of courtesy, if people ask for AC insights re a particular firm on this public forum (as opposed to a private message), they could inform the forum of the scheme they applied for and ideally a brief timeline of the correspondence they received up to AC, as this would help to appease the stress other applicants may experience as a result of their post. Just a thought! :)

    Have not heard back from:
    - DLA Piper (post WG)
    - Davis Polk
    - Sidley Austin
    - Dechert
    - Gibson Dunn (post SJT)
    - Paul Weiss
    - Milbank (post stage 1)
    - Links (post WG)
    - Kirkland
    - Jones Day
    - MoFo
    Who do I expect a PFO from? I'm thinking DLA/Milbank/Kirkland

    Edit: All for Summer.

    For me: DLAP - didn't apply. GD haven't applied. Links; JD got PFOed in autumn. Milbank: got the PFO today

    Others I assume I will be PFOed from all of them, but still waiting.
