anyone gotten a PFO/rejection from Gibson Dunn for their vacation scheme this application cycle? Trying to gage how long it will take for them to response to my app.
nope - i applied just over a week ago and i'm still waiting for a response. Based off my experience from last year, they typically get back to you QUICKLY (no longer than a week) if they are keen to interview you/ progress you to the next stage. However, it seems like they are not acting as quickly this year

Submitted mine a few days ago :) someone else on this platform had applied in early September and got a first stage interview invite in mid October. They might be somewhat slow as they have the Opening day coming up

I applied in mid September and haven’t heard anything, so assuming rejection, but I think a couple people posted pfos on here in October

    Hi @Jessica Booker. I would love some advice: If an application states "Provide details of any other relevant qualifications or professional membership" could I include undergrad certificates or business courses here? Or is this for something else?

    I wouldn’t include anything already covered by your educations section (such as your undergraduate degree).

    If you have any formal qualifications outside of your degree or are a member of any business associations/regulators, then you can include it here. I would expect this question to be blank for the majority of candidates though unless they have had a previous career.

    Thank you - I'll leave it blank then
