Dechert summer VI ! Does anyone have any advice? would really really appreciate it, esp for this firm.

If a firm has sent an email saying decisions will be communicated by close of business Monday and I haven't heard today can I assume it's a rejection? This is after an interview.

No, you can use powerpoint slides via zoom sharing and send HR a handout as well in case partners want to print the slides off.

Did grad rec confirm that? I did email but not got a response so just wanted to check!

I did it and I would just say prep typical motivational, commercial and competency questions!

Hey, I think we'll get a proper response to this in the email they'll send a few days before specifying what we can/can't do for the presentation

The fact that I had to google to remember what KUWTK is just illustrates how much we need to escape the application process 🥲

I love your approach and your motivation, you are going to get there! All about taking these knocks in your stride. Good luck for direct TCs! 🥰

So true, we need to chill a bit more and recuperate after this cycle!

You're super kind thank you so much, I really appreciate your message!! 🥰 You will smash the CRS AC/VS, sending lots of luck and positivity your way!!!🥰

Thank you so much! How long do we get to prep/answer?

I think it's 30 seconds to prep and 60-90 to answer (sorry I'm not completely sure I didn't check the time when I spoke loool awful technique I know)

Kirkland rejection post interview finally came through 🙁 Really disappointed - it was the last outcome I was waiting for this cycle and unfortunately haven't managed to secure a VS for the summer.

Trying to stay positive though, and I'll be back ready to get hurt again for some direct TC apps 🙂

Anyone still waiting on Kirkland, hoping you get good news!!

Has anyone heard from Baker McKenzie post-AC yet?
