    Yes it was an email. I didn't even apply but they emailed because they had my details, I guess?

    Not yet, they're in my top five firms though, along with Willkie, Milbank, SullCrom (who aren't open yet) and White & Case. Were many other people doing interviews that day? I know the Jones Day interview is literally just go in, have an interview, leave. Is Sidley more of an AC?

    Jones Day have filled up all their WVS interview slots. I was considering applying for the scheme earlier on, but they don't re-interview people. They just sent this email. Sorry to anyone who applied and still waiting for an outcome for the WVS.

    Why so much emphasis on grades? Law firms are business, not universities. I know it's a "data point". Still, endless questions about exam marks. Is law not just a business? Is it really that academic? It seems you just apply rules. The work is easy, unlike WG. It feels like a gate-kept...

    Stephenson Harwood rejection at long last. After sending K&S open day app! Anyone else applying to that one? Or Goodwin or Weil open days?

    HSF feedback is a gut punch. It just sounds absolutely brutal, honestly.
