    Thank you. It was hard receiving a PFO from them last year too. Not sure what the future holds, but will keep my fingers crossed... Good luck with the other applications you have!

    Does anyone know how long it takes to hear from Cleary after the AC? (Whether successful or unsuccessful) I think I read a LinkedIn post last year where an offer was given 1-2 days after AC.

    Hi @Amma Usman , I hope you are well! I've just received an invitation to attend Gibson Dunn's first-stage interview with Grad Rec and wondered if you could advise what to expect? I understood from your LinkedIn that you're a future trainee with the firm. I would be very grateful for your advice!

    Thank you. Do you know if the wait time is roughly the same for PFO/next stage? I remember applying last year and they PFO-ed me after 3 exact months. (Must have been automated)

    @Jessica Booker Sorry, please could I trouble you for your opinion on rescheduling an WVS AC due to health issues? Given the sensitive issue at hand, I would like to DM you, would that be ok? 😀

    Thank you very much! That was extremely comprehensive! Quite annoying that unpaid work qualifies as work… how would you rate the chances of (1) and (2)? Were firms more likely than not open to such proposals? As an aside, if you feel comfortable with sharing the names of the firms which you...

    Hi there! What sort of options would you advise the latter group? Would it be possible to waive any renumeration associated with the vac scheme so it is not paid and therefore not ‘work’?

    I got mine about 12 hours after I submitted it on Oct 1. I would recommend checking your Spam folder etc!

    Did my test yesterday afternoon and just heard back that I met the benchmark… The Grad Rec still has to review my application, so who knows when I’ll get my PFO 🙃

    Thank you, I appreciate it very much. Guess I will just have to wait… Since it took 2 days before you received your passing of the test, I am assuming it is somewhat evaluated by humans… Did you also reach the next stage? Or is your application form currently under (separate) review?
