[QUOTE="Amgrad, post: 223069, member: 42426"] Last year, When I was in final year like y'all (probably). I applied to few bulge bracket firms (non-law) and hearing back 2-6 months later after my VI. I'd say I did fairly well, not outstanding as I just got sick (eye redness) before. I asked career coach why it took so long, she said: "Your app is strong, but not strong enough to get passed immediately or weak enough to get instant rejection" I translated that as I (might be) close enough to get pass, if I can say number, maybe 70-90% near recruiter expectation. They usually put em on dedicated files, rather than trash, soft spokenly saying 'on waitlist'. I knew someone here said got Sidley rejection for WVS 87 days (literally very close to 3 months) after the submission. That could be the similar case as me and you. We should learn from that and progress to be better! [/QUOTE]
