Yea wish all firms did the "You will know specifically on this date whether you progress". Would take all the agony out of waiting for a response.
Anyone else just get Cooley’s email? Honestly thought it was a rejection. Paul, Weiss also emailed people earlier.

Thank you so much! @Andrei Radu you are the G.O.A.T. 🐐🐐
I really appreciate the help and guidance 🙂🙂
Real😭😭 Lowkey wondering how many candidates they’ll invite to do the psychometric test lol
Hi @Jessica Booker, @Andrei Radu, I have an interview with a firm tomorrow and I have been thinking about the questions I would like to ask the interviewer (who is a member of the grad rec team). I want to ask questions that I want to know the answers to but I also don't want the questions to be such that grad rec thinks I could have found answers to on my own on further research into the firm.
Below are some of the options, please could you share if you think these would be ok to ask?

- If you had to point out one common trait among all the firm's trainees, what would it be? How does the firm support trainees further develop that trait?
- What has been the reason for you to join and stay at the firm?
- I know the firm focuses a lot on pro bono work – how exactly do lawyers get to get involved in pro bono work – is it through attending legal clinics or taking a pro bono client like you would take a regular client?
What was the Paul, Weiss email about? I plan on applying and I thought the deadline was non-rolling? Thank you.
Cooley last year got 679 apps so 86% increase means about 1262 apps this year
This is excellent attention to detail. All for about four Training Contracts. Good luck with your Cooley app.
I feel like I rushed my application a bit due to being swamped with exams but hopefully, it goes well. I remember getting on well with Sarah at the Bright Network event.

Wondering if I should do freshfields? I missed Slaughter and May, A&O and Clifford Chance. I’m not sure what others firms to look at. I would like to stick to US.

It was just a reminder about the application deadline which is the 19th January.
Paul, Weiss is non-rolling so you can still apply but just try to get your application in at least a few hours in advance of the deadline to avoid technical difficulties.
Some firms have a direct training contract route in the spring and summer.
Paul Hastings, Fried Frank, Baker McKenzie, etc.
The Magic Circle firms also have a direct TC route that opens in the summer because they have two intakes.
