    White and Case VS rejection. Oh lord today has been horrible so far... two rejections in one day :/
    Keep your head up, good things are just around the corner. If I remember correctly, you still have a freshfields app - being invited to WG for them is already a very good sign.
    With your experience (first year schemes etc) & knowledge, the right thing will undoubtedly come along. Stay strong ❤️

    Hi all, if I haven't heard from the following firms whatsoever (either after test or nothing at all), should I assume PFO?:

    Latham SVS (post test)
    Weil (haven't gotten anything)
    Goodwin (haven't gotten anything)
    Milbank (haven't gotten anything)
    Cooley (didn't get VI invite)
    Katten (haven't gotten anything)
    Farrer & Co (haven't gotten anything)
    Jones Day (haven't gotten anything)
    Akin (haven't gotten anything)
    Sidley Austin (haven't gotten anything)

    Also waiting on Withers post-test, didn't get V&E invite which I heard is auto-PFO
