Has anyone with a CMS Academy offer been contacted yet about providing proof for entitlement to work? GR told me over 2 weeks ago that they'd be contacting people within a couple of weeks but I haven't heard anything since

Lol same I’ve accepted the probability of rejections and moving onto new horizons (preparing for the next cycle lol)

Has anyone else not heard from Freshfields for like weeks, I did my AC like 6 weeks ago lol

 

[SF1234]

Have Debevoise got back to anyone about the timings for the AC tomorrow??

No but for real they are very difficult to prepare for. I'd just try using an app like elevate before to get you used to that kind of thing. Emotify is easy its basically just matching pictures to the emotions but the cognify ones are a bit tricky especially if maths or problem-solving games like tetris aren't your thing.

Maths is definitely not my thing 😭 but thank you so much for the advice!

Latham said they would get back to us by mid-Feb. Should we email? or just quietly assume a PFO

 

[LegalLily]

Has anyone got any Ropes AC tips from previous years? Can’t find anythingggg about what their elevator pitch is about
