A minute is kind of mental for a video interview- and only three questions !! like come on

I really liked the questions but my answers were ALL incomplete and even unclear. Oh well. Do you have any idea when we are likely to hear back?

Katten and HL PFO today lol

 

[futureTS03]

Is anyone still waiting on Davis Polk and Latham Summer VS? strange they are taking so long for a PFO

Katten and HL PFO today lol

Katten PFO was above average - they at least managed to put "application unsuccessful" in the subject, rather than the usual ambiguous "Your application to Katten" nonsense, saves time.

[manifestingthetc]

I know some people got interviews but I don't know if they have all been sent.

For private equity focused firms like Kirkland what are some ways you could justify an interest in private equity without direct experience? i.e. would it be reasonable to say I enjoyed the variety in x experience, and PE involves lots of variation in companies in different industries, or is that reaching/not substantive enough?

Has anyone heard from RPC? Its almost end of Feb so PFO at this point?

I was thinking the exact same!

Sorry to hear that, waiting for mine too tbh... Was Dechert post app or WE?

Thank you! Did you get some time to do the case study by yourself or do you just talk it through with the partner?

They give you the facts verbally and then ask the questions. They do give you time to think and makes notes before you answer!

 

[Heartofglass]

Has anyone heard from Withers, Mayer Brown, Dentons, BCLP post-app/SJT? Any interview or AC invites? For DTC

I sent Withers my new grades last night and they responded saying: "We are in the process of finalising our interviews for the Summer Vacation Scheme and you will be notified of the outcome of your application as soon as possible."

I'll let you interpret it however you like but I think there and not many AC left and they already made up their mind.
