Hi! For those who’ve completed the Milbank WG, did you receive any confirmation email after submitting it? Like similar to the first test?
For anyone who has attended an OD at Latham this cycle, I am just curious to know, how many people were on it?
Jones Day AC! would appreciate any insights, pls dm!
Anyone have insights on Stage 2 freshfields? Would really appreciate it. I can help with Dechert WE, Weil VI, also been to Kirkland & Ellis, HSF, Hogan Lovells Open days.
Guys... Any tips on how to manage anticipation anxiety?
I've never made so many applications and awaited for so many results, worrying about their outcomes. Life in academia was so smooth and I always got into wherever I wanted to.
Dealing with rejections for the first time, in bulk is mildly shivering but I'm getting past it well. It's the anticipation and uncertainty of not knowing anything I'm struggling with. I'm on my email page once in 20 mns refreshing... And it just spikes up my heartbeat and makes me feel nauseating.
If any of you have been there, I would like to know what helps you!
Thanks in Advance.

I'm so sorry to hear this
Was Cleary before or after the WG do you mind me asking?
Thanks for this!
Do you think Sidley winter vac scheme is more competitive to get on to, or the summer and spring scheme
Never got the WGI'm so sorry to hear this

I have no idea (I got the winter vac scheme for Sidley this year) but from what I gather winter vac schemes in general typically attract applicants who have move experience (final years)/post grads/career changers. Sidley’s wvs is also only 1 week and has a smaller intake because its use to feed their tc for the coming year.
13th October ! Thanks!Congratulations! If you don’t mind me asking, when did they email saying you’d passed the test? Best of luck
Pick up a hobby or two to distract yourself, take a walk, listen to music, just do something unrelated
I'm quite confident in my abilities, as I've also got a lot of experience under my belt and office experience too.
Idk if I would be at an advantage applying for the summer/spring scheme then, as a way to stand out more amongst general undergrads, with not so much experience. Not in a conceited way, but to just help increase my chances amongst what will be a very talented cohort of students/graduates and career changers.

Idk how useful (or coherent) any of this is but hope it helps 1. Anticpation + uncertainty is an unavoidable pain, it just is a part of the process. However, It shows you give a f*** about what you're doing, your applications and this whole process - it shows ur putting in effort, care and time into ur applications so massive W for this. 2. The only way out this situ is through it, legit you just gotta keep ur head down and stay pushing - imagine urself as a rhino (me off 3 white monster cans at 2am) and just visualise you making ur way outta this process. 3. From my experience, the best advice I got is assuming the moment you hit send on an application, assume a rej. Then whatever may come is either what you expected, or a pleasant surprise. and 4. Remember to do other stuff apart from apps, even though apps are really important and everyone wants a job at the end of the day, keep doing ur hobbies, keep going outside and getting fresh air. - TDLR: its horrible process, your feelings are more than valid, and the only way out of it is through it, keep your focus, keep your hobbies, and keep having faith in yourself
