Does anyone know the exact time that Sidley's applications close? It says the 27th January but I am not sure of the exact time. Thanks!

CMS Academy Offer!!! I’m absolutely shocked and currently shaking! This is my third application cycle and I thought I would never get a VS offer but my dreams have finally come true! I want to thank the entire TCLA community for helping me achieve this

CONGRATS!!

Is the Covington interview a case study interview or just a chat?

I wouldn't describe it as a 'chat', but there is no case study involved

Nope, but I have seen in the past they've taken 2-3 weeks to respond regardless of outcome!

I saw some asking when Mayer Brown got back abt the test. For me (Summer) I applied on 7 Jan and got an invite to the test on 16 Jan, and they sent the feedback report of my test on 24 Jan.

Haven’t heard back from it though, but considering the feedback for my test we’re all below average to average in all sections, I’m not expecting much 🥴

How much notice do you usually get before ACs?

 

[bhbuygu]

This is a random 2am thought but those of you who are in their 2nd+ application cycle, what are you doing differently and what advice do you have for first-timers? Thanks

Just wondering if anyone has a response?

Goodwin AC! Someone above asked if this is the final round - asking again, is it?

Other updates:
(1) Summer Scheme at US firm
(2) In the 3rd of 4th stage at a second US firm, and;
(3) PFO at AC round of a third US firm.

Good luck to everyone!

Might I add another update (4) Rejected at 10 other US firms, with not even a "we liked your application" type of reply.

Much like everyone here, the resilience we are all gaining by going through this process will make us better people as we progress forward throughout each of our careers.

I had the same feedback! Below average in all sections... Although I did well in most of them. I don't know if this is a direct eliminatory factor or we still have chances to go through.
