To ppl who have DLA ACs, how long after your TI did you hear the outcome?

 

[TCComingSoon]

Pinsent PFO we move on

Is not hearing back for Mayer Brown Summer a good sign? completed test 23rd December and scored 30/36 (I think). Or have a lot of people got AC's.

 

[doodllaw29]

Have people heard back from Sullivan and Cromwell? I was waitlisted for interview back in the beginning of November, and haven't hear anything since, wondering if they've been sent out already.

Oh my Gosh Dentons AC. This is my first ever AC and would love if anyone has any insights or advice. It's Spring London

 

[1stCycleApplicant]

To anyone who did the Milbank AC for trad spring vs, can you let me know when you completed it. I was the first ac, and grad rec said they’d need to host a couple more before making decisions, hence why I’m asking. Thanks!

Any ideas when we will hear back from the following: Orrick, Covington, Debevoise, Katten, Davis Polk, Goodwin post VI, Greenberg Traurig, Proskauer, Vinson & Elkins, and Weil?

I thought Covington isn't rolling so not until post-deadline on the 16th I guess? For Davis Polk, I've not seen anyone hear anything yet, though apparently someone emailed Weil yesterday afternoon and they said hopefully this week? (Unless I'm misremembering?) I'm not sure about the others though, sorry!
