Anyone not heard from Links yet?

Nope just waiting and waiting and waiting, seems like the theme this app season

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

Which intake?

When have you applied? I applied in November so probably a PFO at this point. Unencouragingly, I have only received one under review email which was sent immediately after my application- no 6-week update under review email.

Received a 2nd update email last Friday (whatever that means) and applied on deadline but for direct TC

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?

Never a letter!

If you are going to do it, email and keep the email exceptionally short (e.g. something they can read on an iPhone screen without scrolling).

Anyone not heard from Links yet?

Yeah I haven't heard anything either (for a direct TC app)

 

[EvaK]

Received the second rejection of the day (Skadden) before I had finished reading the first (Squire Patton Boggs, post-VI). How is everybody else's Monday going?

 

[Natalie Black]

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

Thanks Daniel

 

[Miki3999]

Anyone whose Freshfields portal updated heard back yet?

No... I took that as a Pfo

 

[Dos]

Links -- anyone got rejected lmao? I haven;t heard back..on hold for ages.

 

[Natalie Black]

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

No idea. I dont even know what their application process is. I am also awaiting a response

 

[Dos]

Got a Hogan Lovells WG invite for TC! Is this automatic?

Im still waiting as well! For summer vac scheme. Does anyone know when they stop holding ACs?

Anyone not heard from Links yet?

Still "On Hold." Only one review email, received last weekend.

 

[Long Dinh]

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?

I haven't heard back from Latham either. I have just sent them an email this morning.

Also haven't heard back from Linklaters, Weil, Squire, Ashurst for their VS

I also got the SPB rejection post VI, was expected but never nice! It’s just a waiting game for the others it seems
