anyone heard back from wfw post-vi🥹it's been a solid month since my vi

I haven’t heard back at all since sending in my application back in October! I did apply for the summer VS though

 

[zq522]

ACs are out

Is this for summer? I applied back in October and haven’t heard anything not even a VI

 

[Alessio1642]

Are PW still sending things out? 🤔

I hope so haha

will NRF be my valentine?

 

[BuddyingLawyer744]

i've heard of ppl getting a pfo yesterday from PW and people getting interviews today. The wait is killing me! It's the only pending application I have

 

[Legalstalker]

High verbal mid numerical! Wish I did better in my application now 😂

 

[Joey green]

I’m calling it, PW is not going to send any more invites, only pfos

Woah which firm is this for? Huge congrats. 🥳

 

[jacksollaf]

Thank you so much - I'm anticipating a rejection for me.

same I think I got 78 on their Watson Galser test too, so seeing how other people are getting 90+, I'm happy with my HFW vacation scheme 😂 😂

Don’t say that 😭😭

 

[jacksollaf]

Has anyone heard back from Simmons & Simmons LLP post-AC?

is that AC for the summer or spring? If summer, when did you do your VI

Will any firm be my Valentine?? 🤞🏼😍

 

[jacksollaf]

will NRF be my valentine?

same that's what I am wondering 😢😂😂😂

 

[trainee4u]

i've been sent the WBD tests and I've done similar tests for Reed Smith before which didnt go that well - on the email it says there is a practice test which i cant see as a link and also i was wondering if anyone had any practice tests for this kind of " Blended High Potential Assessment" or any test websites for it, i know its an amberjack test but i dont know how to improve on these tests in particular?

hi,
there is a thread here: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....est-sjt-advice-on-the-forum.4350/#post-202350

@Chris Brown can't find your post, but huge huge huge congrats on your AC!! Very well deserved! No joke, you're literally among the few few people that I truly focus on in terms of VS/TC journey!! Good luck, you'll smash it!!

 

[trainee4u]

also i havent heard anything from mishcon since i applied in mid-november should i assume its a PFO? i get their emails updating us on when we might expect to hear back but given that others have been sent VIs etc...

I would assume so! I got VI in December, PFO on 4 February, so if you never got the VI I don't see how you could be in the running now.

 

[Paul Jules Steullet]

How is PW is affording all those high salaries exactly? I wonder just how leveraged the firm is.

 

[yeezyee]

I would assume so! I got VI in December, PFO on 4 February, so if you never got the VI I don't see how you could be in the running now.

at their spring AC they said they hadn’t even finished screening apps yet for summer so definitely more to play for still with mishcon!

 

[rapunzel]

I can’t believe what I’m seeing right now. I am in complete shock. 🥲

Paul, Weiss AC/interview invite. I’m so confused right now idk how this is happening. 😭​

Huge congratulations! Well deserved!! 🥳

Good luck, I'm sure you'll smash it!
