Yeah, I got it a day after for the holding email

Exactly a day after finishing the test? Should I email grad rec if I did not get it?

Yeah don't rush em tbh. If you got the feedback it means your application has been received. The holding email ain't necessary

Idk if it’s just me but I’ve been refreshing my inbox like an absolute melon every 5 mins. ​

Yeah, but I also have my notifs on... I just put my phone on aeroplane mode to relax

Sorry to hear that I really don't know why, are they reviewing candidates on chronological order, not the oldest first.

 

[yk1906]

noo, they don't? dang that is frustrating... I'm sorry

Ah, they said they can sponsor TC but not VS... It's a classic situation atp

Same goes to my Akin & Davis Polk VS app. I will ask Baker and Orrick next year for TC whether they'll consider non law graduate who haven't started PGDL

I still applied to Weil, though, mainly because they have 0 questions on the app and I can practice SJTs (It's very, very bad to do that, I know )
