    Just to double check, there is no verbal reasoning test in Withers's online test?

    So after a million PFOs that came before, what has changed? A PFO that praised my credentials. Life can be a very funny thing if you can find something to be amused about 😂😂😂😂

    Davis Polk PFO. "We have carefully reviewed your CV and although your credentials are impressive, we are unable to invite you to interview with our Firm." Ok, this might be the best PFO I have ever received 😭😭😭😭

    Or a silver lining for those who haven't got a PFO today...

    Has anyone got a Summer AC invite from Reed Smith? Surely there must be one on this forum, no? 🤔

    Hello, so the mass PFO has come. Has anyone got a Summer AC invite? So far I haven't come across a single one yet on this forum...

    Behold the long awaited mass extinction from Reed Smith 😄 Does it mean we do not have a Summer ACer on this forum?

    Speaking of Take That, "Shine" is a great song to cure the odd moments of depression 🙂 It helped me get through the first lockdown. So if you all are feeling like the application process is getting too overwhelming I'd recommend this song to motivate yourself.

    That's so good to hear because I applied on the deadline day. I didn't think I had any chance getting further than the app stage given I applied so late. But now I might have the slightest possibility of getting a VI invite!

    Hi, not trying to over-analyse (which I know isn't helpful), but is the wording the same with previous holding emails?

    I guess they are really having a hard time processing us, the summer VS applicants. I wouldn't find it surprising given the bigger candidate pool and the fact that this is the first year they do strength-based interviews. Perhaps it is a lot more time-consuming going through all the candidates...

    Hahaha love this. When they said they had a hard time picking AC candidates they were clearly not lying apparently. Perhaps our work was so good it brings too much pain and displeasure for them to press the PFO button!

    Well, it's either going to be a surprise invitation or a dramatic send-off with a bang. Either way, let's buckle up and hope for the best 🥂
