Yes they did, they said the virtual AC will be on either 4/6th of Feb and the in-person one week commencing 9th Feb.

Oh in my email I got the virtual AC as 4/6th March then 12th March for the in-person one

Anyone know if Freshfields are doing anymore ACs?

[I’m a celebrity get me out of here - VS/TC edn]

Just want to clarify all Kirkland rejections are for the VS application post app?

 

[Laurel Lance - Black Canary]

Has anyone heard back from Sidley Spring/Summer?

 

[Bruce Wayne Attorney at Law]

Reed Smith, Kirkland, Davis Polk rejection all in a row to pile on to Weil.

Great day

Birketts PFO London expected it as I did not get the test but still disappointed ...

 

[BobThebIlly]

Rejected from Davis Polk post app

 

[Shiv Lawy]

Davis Polk PFO but iirc it was only open to current students so I technically didn't qualify (had finished my postgrad but not graduated)

People are hearing from Kirkland but I don't have anything yet(edit: I applied to DTC so nevermind I'm still in the danger zone)

 

[kukubird]

Joining the party, Davis Polk PFO

 

[lawyerperson]

In other news. Received Paul Weiss AC for spring. Applied day before deadline. Any insight please PM me. I’ve heard it’s very technical

Have you heard back yet?

 

[sagekensuke]

Is Cleary WG selective or automatic?
