    Email from W&C GR :

    “I hope you are well and many thanks for your email.

    We do get in touch with everyone with the outcome of their applications. We review on a rolling basis. Therefore, people will hear back before other.”

    Hopefully hear back soon 🤞

    Quick question, and any tips would be appreciated.

    Following my interview today, there was something I created in the past that my interviewers were very interested in (it was an animation) that they wanted to see but I didn’t have it on my desktop so I couldn’t share my screen at the time.

    I was wondering, would it be weird for me to email them a little thank you and a copy of the animation?

    They didn’t ask for it specifically so I thought maybe it would be nice but at the same time I don’t want it to seem like I’m trying too hard (if that makes sense). Realistically, I doubt they would watch it - but it seems a shame because they were so intrigued.

    Any advice?

    Anyone else still waiting on slaughter's winter workshop? The TC deadline is coming up soon and given the fact you can't apply for the TC until you've received an outcome from the winter workshop application, they're cutting it quite fine

    I'd say do it. You have nothing to lose, but so much to gain.

    I think definitely do it, if not the interviewers then GR referencing that they were interested. It's definitely something that would make you memorable to the interviewers/GR!

    No problem in sending it - just keep the email short and to the point, with a brief reference of why you are sending it to them.

    Holding myself accountable (again):

    Willkie Farr & Gallagher ✅📼📝
    Covington & Burling
    Shearman & Sterling ✅
    White & Case ✅📼
    Milbank ✅
    Ropes & Gray
    Arnold & Porter
    Sullivan & Cromwell
    Latham & Watkins
    Kirkland & Ellis
    Skadden Arps ✅
    Vinson & Elkins
    Weil Gotshal & Manges
    Akin ✅
    Gibson Dunn ✅❌
    Goodwin ✅
    Cleary Gottlieb ✅
    Paul Hastings
    Ashurst ✅ 📝❌
    Macfarlanes ✅📝
    Mayer Brown ✅📝
    King & Spalding?
    Winston & Strawn?
    Morgan Lewis ✅
    Fried Frank (1st January)
    Orrick
    Dechert
    Cooley
    Morrison Foerster ✅
    Slaughter and May ✅❌

    ✅ = application; 📝 = test/written exercise; 📼 = VI, ❌ = PFO.

    Three PFOs, but honestly, the excitement you get even just getting an open-day invite or a VI makes it all worthwhile.
