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 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.
