PFO from White & Case for the Summer Vac

Does anyone have any advice for the Mayer Brown online tests?

Have a go at some CAPP assessment tests if you can get hold of them online (either free or paid). Other than that, just answer honestly what you would do for the SJT

I've done the tests yesterday and found it helpful to complete the free CAPP practice test available on AssessmentDay. Good luck!

When did you submit your Akin Gump application?

Also waiting on Sidley and White & Case - hopefully no news is good news!

Hi Daniel,

Have you heard from either White & Case or Sidley?

 

[ZH]

How was the assessment centre? I have mine next week. Hope you get good news

Question to everyone

After an interview, would you send a letter or email to your interviewers to thank them?

Some people recommend it (good manners, respect etc.), but on the flip side it may not go down well with every firm (looks beggy, artificial)?

What's your thoughts?

 

[ZH]

Rejected from BCLP... I heard they have a little feedback on apps. Bullsh* it is just a generic 1 line email... hmm!!!!

Sorry to hear this! I hope your other applications are going well

Was it for VS or direct TC?

sorry to hear that; I hope you do not take it too harshly on yourself! May I ask when you first applied.

Depends on context really, might look beggish, but suppose it couldn’t harm

Anyone know how long Vinson & Elkins take to respond to applications?

 

[Barami]

It seems every law firm has ghosted me Haven't heard back from TS, Kirkland, and Sidley Austin

Worry not on the Kirkland front- I emailed them last week, and they said that their screening process is taking longer than usual due to an unprecedented number of applications. They confirmed that my application was still under review at that point. They aimed to get more outcomes out "within the next week or so". If you still haven't heard back by next week, then there's no harm in emailing them yourself.

Anyone else not heard back from Latham yet by the way?

 

[S87]

I still haven't heard from DLA or CMS (applied both on the deadline). Does anyone know if they are still inviting people to ACs?

I am in the same situation..I applied to both firms just before the deadline...so tired of waiting!!

Just received WG test link for HL direct TC application (applied on 31 Jan).

Hi Daniel,

Have you heard from either White & Case or Sidley?

Rejected from White & Case, haven't heard from Sidley

 

[Daniel Boden]

Just been rejected by Skadden which is unsurprising given they had their telephone interviews last week - still waiting to hear from Akin Gump and Kirkland post-AC. Fingers crossed!!!
