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

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)

Joining the party, Davis Polk PFO

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?
