    Monday 11 Nov Update: Baker McKenzie submitted it last week. Ashurst rejection came last week - not surprised, that test was awfully hard. Skadden has been reviewed and will be finalised this week. Clifford Chance drafted, yet to be cleaned up. Latham research is on the to-do list for this...

    I would take it as a good sign. If they've sent out the rejections and you didn't get one, it might mean you're in the successful batch! ;)🤞

    I applied for the STEP UP summer programme. They offer two one-month in-house legal internships in international companies in the summer.
