    Has anyone heard back from Paul, Weiss post online test with an AC invite, or has it only been PFO’s so far and nothing else?

    The waiting is driving me insane. I just want it to be over and done with if it’s a PFO. 🥲🥲​
    I feel your pain. I'm this close to just pretending I never applied😂. The anxiety is killing me

    This is literally exactly how I feel right now. The anxiety is too much and it’s killing me. 😂🥲

    If Paul from Paul, Weiss sees this, please give AC invites to all of us on the TCLA forum. 🙂🙂​

    @Jessica Booker do the same rules apply for accepting a VS offer then reneging on it at a later date in the Scottish system? I've got an offer I'd like to accept but also waiting to hear back from some other firms before making a final decision, so just wanted to ask before I sign anything!
