Wait-

If I’ve not received the W&C VI yet am I assuming it’s over for me or? 😭😭🤣🤣

I think if you've applied for summer it might be slightly safer! Surely they're moving on spring ppl first since the scheme is soon lol

[sbbusybee]

is it a PFO for not getting W&C WE? BTW has anyone heard back from HSF for summer?

Haven’t heard from HSF Kramer yet!

So W&C is App -> VI -> WE -> Interview -> VS -> TC (lol)

They added an SJT and WG as part of the initial app stage too so it ends up looking like this:

App + SJT + WG -> VI -> WE -> Live VI -> VS and then finally the TC. Long process lmao.

[marshall]

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether Debevoise or HSF or Gibson Dunn or King & Spalding or W&C are better in international arbitration and also public international law? Thanks! What might be the subtle differences between them in these areas?
