Sorry about this
Is this post stage 1 test or stage 2 test?

I have my Milbank ac in 3 days. What recent news events or trends in markets do you think I should be aware of going into this? I've been successful at ACs and interviews at international firms but this is my first US firm AC. So any advice would be super appreciated!!

Congrats! When did you hear about the AC? I applied, but had issues with the second stage, which meant I had to repeat it but heard nothing since?

Hey guys, does anybody know if on the AG application portal there is any place where we input our university modules and grades? From what I can see they just ask for the overall degree, but it seem highly unlikely they wouldn't want more info....

That’s all they need. There is no space for individual grades.

For people who have received an AC from Kirkland, what date is your AC on?

Hey guys, I’ve seen one person on this thread receive an AC from HSF Kramer for the Spring Vac, has anyone else received an AC? I haven’t received a PFO nor an AC invite so just interested to know. Thank you!

Did Milbank Stage 1 early December, heard nothing since… why won’t they send a PFO already?? I doubt I’ll get Stage 2 now

I was expecting it since I read my feedback report. As a career changer, I can surely say it doesn't match my personality and way of working. For this and some other issues I have faced on previous assessments, I dont trust these platforms.

I have been considering seeking an in-house qualification if things do not work well this year. At least the process seems to be fairer although having fewer opportunities.

[CupOfTea17]

when did you apply as i applied on the deadline so im wondering if this is why

I also got the same email and I also applied on the deadline. I thought the scheme was non-rolling so didn't prioritise getting it in early...

Hi, is your app for region or London office, pls?

Thanks! This is for the London office

Eversheds AC! For London

Can’t quite believe it

Champion!!! Did you get auto-assigned an AC slot, or could you pick from the range given in the VI email?
