Weil AC invite!! I’m still in shock so had to take a few hours to process getting the email haha.

For those interested, I applied in early Nov and got the online test around the end of Nov.

I sat the SJT and VI around mid Dec (14-17) and scored 7566 high numerical and verbal.​

LETS GO!!

Me for the past two days (I didn't apply to Weil, Bakers, TW, Forsters or Mayer Brown):

TW AC ‍‍‍‍‍

congrats!!!

 

[svb risk management intern]

Maybe try being more collaborative, less "I'm going to solve the problem myself"? Might not be the issue, but I think it worked for me.

This will be my next thing to keep in mind! Thanks

 

[Donuttime]

Feel so happy seeing all the TW and MBs ACS an VIs

Would 5 calendar days from Friday mean expiry on Tuesday or Wednesday for a test?

guys anyone heard anything for Freshfields DTC post stage 2?

 

[Bottega_Veneta]

I am trying to see something here, considering that Weil has changed their process this year. From applications - VI - AC to work experience and grades to SJT VI and the AC.

They will probably have thousands of VIs to shift through.. any realistic chances for a second wave of ACs? Or should I just close my laptop and go to bed
