I remember seeing a post a few weeks back on the forum where someone posted that during their AC, grad rec (HL) told them that AC’s were running until like mid March. I guess when that time comes, if there’s no update from HL, then email and ask. 🙂​

I think it can vary. I think I remember in one of Willkie’s virtual events for this cycle, which was with Gemma and a trainee, Gemma mentioned that the trainee had been called by the partner an hour after their interview with a VS offer. At the Willkie open evening, a different trainee had said to me that they got a call from Gemma a few days later. It could be different this year though. They might wait till interviews have all finished and select people in one go. Has anyone who has already done their interview heard back at all yet? 🙂🥲​

Nothing yet... the wait is killing me

I remember after mine I was so anxious about potentially being rejected that I was just trying to fill all of the waiting time with "productive" activities which would help put me in a better position in the worse case scenario - such as starting new applications or doing lots of readings for my modules. For me this helped in that while I could not control the outcome of the interview, by channeling my energy to positive ends I felt like I at least had control over my attitude to it. However, for other people simply giving themselves a bit of a break and doing some of the activities they most enjoy worked better. I would advise you to try both approaches and see which suits you better !
