Dechert application
When I applied to Dechert last year, I approached these as separate questions with little overlap. Q1 is asking more about you, whereas Q2 is more about the client's perspective, the business of the law firm and what is Dechert's competitive advantage within the legal market (as you have...- J Wu

Hogan Lovells Application 2020/21
As someone who graduated in 2018, would it be negatively perceived to discuss university anecdotes rather than examples from work for a few of these competency questions?

Does it ever mean anything when a firm says post-AC that they will get back to you early the following week via phone call regardless of outcome but then proceeds to leave you waiting for weeks (24 days and counting)?- J Wu

Gibson Dunn Interview
Yeah exactly! The four law firms you'd least like to see on the opposite side of a courtroom essentially. I've just checked the most recent ranking and Gibson Dunn has actually been knocked out now.- J Wu
