Anyone applied for Arnold & Porter (either this cycle or in previous years) and know roughly how long they take to respond to applications after the deadline? Do they do video interviews, or do successful written applicants go straight to AC?

I've been waiting for almost two months for RS to provide feedback (which they promised) post AC. Is this too long? :/ I know other people are in the same boat.

I've chased this up a few times, but my emails/calls haven't been answered.

I have a question - how much does work experience at a high street/regional firm help me in my applications? I’m looking to get some over the summer but as it’s unpaid I’m debating whether to do that or get another job somewhere else that’s non-Law related but paid. Would it put me in a position to apply for direct TCs?

Does anyone have any tips for answering this question?: 'Please tell us about your most outstanding personal achievement and how it added value to the environment you were in'

Thanks so much in advance!!

think of something personal you achieved that was exceptional and think of the value if added to the community you are in :)
