For those waiting to hear from Sidley - just spoke with HR, they've said that no news doesn't mean we've been rejected. They might not have reached the app yet or made a decision. If we're unsuccessful, they won't make the candidates wait. So no news is (hopefully) good news

For those waiting on Skadden, at their open evening, they said they say it's rolling just so they can manage the workload easier but they only hand out Assessment Day invites after the deadline. Their deadline is tonight so I imagine everyone should hear back by next Friday.

in total shock but have an A&O TC AC next week - if anyone at all can help me I would be so grateful! It is my second to last shot this cycle so I would be so thankful for any insights and tips for prep!!!

Alice - when is it? I am catching up with an ex-A&O colleague soon (who has far more recent insight than me), so can ask them

Interesting... I applied to Dechert in early November but still nothing so not very optimistic about them but we shall see. Fingers crossed for the others!

You could be in a hold pile
They could be rubbish at turning people down
You could have got "lost" in the system due to a technical or human error fault
