I have a question, I just finished the Paul, Weiss (PW) assessment. I received an acknowledgement email that said they would be in touch in due course and if successful, I would be invited to a Virtual Assessment Centre. I don't know if that's the case for all candidates (I am applying from abroad). I would like to know if some are invited to an in-person AC. Thanks.

After procrastinating, I finally got myself to take the Paul, Weiss online blended assessment.
I managed to get high applied verbal intellect and high applied numerical intellect, which is good. Though, like others here, I'm not sure how to feel about my pillar scores of 6464 for grit, applied intellect, creative force, and digital mindset. I'm glad they're balanced, but I was sure they'd come back higher. Especially with digital mindset. Like, I watched a 2 hour video last night of an OpenAI co-founder building a large language model from scratch just because. You can leave the other scores, but I think I deserve a 9 for that 🤣 If anything, a 4 and the corresponding feedback feels insulting.
Ah, I'm just venting. That's just how these assessments go. I'm sure it's a work-in-progress. We'll find out more soon enough 😴

Hi, when did you get the email and when did you apply? Haven’t heard anything yet and getting worried
Did anyone else receive an error message when completing their Paul Weiss assessment? This was the last question, and I think it did not submit. When I hit refresh, it then took me to the closing video. do I email grad recruitment?
I would say contact grad recruitment because it should automatically go through once you click send. 🙂
Has anyone heard back from Linklaters who didn't do the fast track open day? Is anyone else's application still on hold?
Morning guys, please does anyone have any helpful insight to Macfarlanes AC. It’s my first and only AC for the cycle. Please help 🙏. I just need some information as to the structure , what was the written elements like? I also learnt there was some maths involved 😕 how easy or difficult was this? Please PM me. Thanks in advance!
I applied last year and never received anything back from them!
Does anyone know if morgan lewis send first stage interview invites all at once or if we haven’t heard back that might be it?
@Jessica Could you please provide insight into how Amberjack SJTs are usually assessed by grad rec teams. Am I correct in understanding that firms would have a benchmark cut-off for each pillar, and then also look at your overall score across all the pillars? Because it seems like it’s impossible to score close to 6/7 in every pillar (9 being the maximum), as by selecting some answers you gain score in one pillar but inevitably lose score in another.
Thank you very much in advance.
Thank you very much in advance.
Dont particularly like SJTs but GENUINELY hate amberjack
Thank you guys, your messages remind that I've got a community here. Both of you guys get something important across - have a next step in mind. Whether it be focusing on TCs or keeping an eye on firms with shorter app processes, I'll make sure to come up with a reinforced app plan.
Wishing you all the best with your apps, you both are fantastic people - good things are around the corner.
Can anyone who's done the Willkie written exercise pm me ASAP! It's about a technical issue. Thank you so much 
Freshfields SVS Post WG PFO at 9am. I’ve genuinely sobbed since I found out because it was my last application. I haven’t gotten through to a single AC. I’m in second year and was confident I would get through to an AC especially at Hogans and Freshfields because of my past experience with them. Genuinely someone please tell me where I went wrong because I sent my application to a trainee to check twice and I just don’t know what to do and feel sick sorry for the ramble
Has anyone not heard from Jones Day? Submitted my app mid December for SVS and have not heard anything since. Should I assume this is a PFO
