Also, can anyone tell me if the Reed Smith VI interview questions are hard

How long is a piece of string

Is skadden supposed to get back to us today ?

would be nice- didn’t even get a confirmation of receipt from them after waking up at 7am to do that WE

 

[PermanentParalegal]

the email said sometime this week, fingers crossed its on the earlier end!

Oh you got an email … you’re doing better than me then

 

[PermanentParalegal]

guys I checked the email from Skadden and it says wc 12th. We could be waiting till Friday

When did you get this email from them? Was it after the WE or recently ? I should probably reach out to them just in case as I haven’t heard anything since the WE

In the email inviting you to the WE, it states they will get back to us the week of the 12th

Could I ask how many questions there are in the Hill Dickinson VI? Also am I right that the time taken to complete the test section doesn't impact the score? And just curious, how long ppl usually spend preparing each VI question in amberjack VIs with unlimited preparation time?

Apparently, depending on the stage reached, the feedback varies.
- if you reached 1st stage OA: its about spelling mistakes etc
- if you reached 2nd stage OA: its about your motivations etc
- if you did the OD: its some bs on Forage and work experience

IMO its automated based on which pile you were - not entirely sure tho just witnessing a trend here.

Did not do the OD but received the Forage/WE feedback.

my inbox today: 4 submitted apps, 3 pfos, 2 sjt/capp, 1 vi, 1 holding email

Latham PFO 🥀

My feedback:
If you haven’t already, try completing a few of our online Forage courses. You can include these as work experience.
• Both legal and non-legal work experience is relevant so be sure to include any part-time jobs or non-legal internships.

Did anyone get the same lol

 

[Ijustwanttobealawyer]

Has anyone who applied to Latham spring not heard either a PFO or AC? It seems like they’re sending them out randomly🥺
