Still no news about Weil’s second Insight Day… it’s in 5 days so probably a PFO but it’s annoying that they wouldn’t even send it

 

[stargirl22]

Did anyone receive PFO from NRF post-VI?

 

[thepfocollector]

has anyone heard from Linklaters for wvs?

 

[bjelostan]

Anyone heard from ashurst post written exercise?

Reed Smith PFO xx

Hii, so sorry to hear this. But if you don't mind me asking, was this post app or VI?

 

[emily3827]

is the white and case test just an sjt or is there a vi or wg element?

 

[Abbie Whitlock]

If a firm tells you to wait 7 days for an outcome of your application and you’re on day 5, does that mean PFO

Not necessarily! If they said 7 days, you're still within their timeline. Some firms take the full period (or potentially even a bit longer) to review applications. There are often many factors they need to consider before making a decision, so no news yet doesn't mean a PFO - I'd wait until you hear back either way before assuming anything!

any one know their linklaters Watson glasser score

if I haven't heard back from a firm for winter and it was rolling am I able to withdraw my app and apply for spring

Hi guys! Any news from Vinson & Elkins spring / summer schemes?

Hello, is Why would you chosen to train at Latham & Watkins over another firm? - the same as why Latham & Watkins, so motivational? If not, how do you go about answering it?

Also, do you think it's acceptable to talk about only one point, but go into lots of detail. I have a point in mind and there's many angles to it. There's a 300 word limit. Or, is it better to mention 2 well-developed points instead to show greater understanding?

@Abbie Whitlock

Thank you

Got an interview invite on Wednesday! My friend also got one on Tuesday

I believe grad recruitment said they haven’t finished invites yet though!
