How I'm looking at my email rn with Cooley PFOs going out (pls give me the WG ):

 

[ilikelaw]

to all those who got the pfo from cooley today, may i ask did you apply to spring or summer?

HSF Kramer Summer Vac PFO I’m actually so bummed out bc I really liked the firm and thought I had the profile to atleast get an AC invite

Same LOL

I'm really sorry would you mind telling us when you applied?

turns out GD doesn't even receive info on how long the test took...rushed at the end for no reason

Anxiously watching my inbox with HSFK summer vac scheme PFOs rolling out.... its the only firm I have left on my list that hasn't outright or soft rejected me. Anyone know if they're coming out slowly or if it was a one and done and I can stop obsessively reloading?

 

[Shiv Lawy]

Has anyone else got an Akin TI this Thursday? Worried that I haven't heard back about a time slot and I know they're being conducted today and Thursday and I couldn't do today as I'm taking a flight

 

[Miles Edgeworth]

is this for the spring summer vs?

It's for the Spring VS

Anyone know what my chances may be for links AC?

88th percentile in the WG, and then SJT highest scoring = Motivation, Respect. Lowest Scoring = Resource and Work Management

I don't find it necessarily reflects me as a person at all haha, but will the resource and work management shoot me in the foot a lot here? Am also conscious many have already received their AC invites so the PFO may be incoming...

Hi all! First ever AC next week for DLA in their London office! Would really appreciate any advice from anyone if they've been through the DLA AC themselves, or even any other AC. Having never actually had to demonstrate commercial awareness outside of VIs I'm pretty terrified of the partner interview / case studies. If anyone had any advice please pm me!

Haven’t had good news in over a month just been PFOs what looked like a 100% TC app cycle now is crumbling

Just wondering if anyone has had any updates from Hogan Lovells after the VI stage?

 

[user397485]

[Gottagetthroughthis101]

I sound like a broken record at this point but anything from Perkins?

The TI were supposed to start from Yesterday until the 30th…

I just did my skadden interview it’s so over for me

there’s still hope, ppl who think they’ve done badly in interviews often make it further anyway
