I’m not sure what WBD benchmark is, but for Paul, Weiss, the vast majority of us who got invited to interview scored between 20-24 on the SJT pillars and mid/high on both verbal and numerical intellect. I think your scores are solid tbh! Best of luck for WBD! 🙂​

The way I get around it is by doing more, usually. If I get a rejection then I try to send off another app the same week so I know I have another one out there, and that normally makes me feel better.

I found it harder this cycle than the last two. After a rejection from a firm I did an AC with last cycle, I just couldn't get out of bed for a day I was that down. I've said it before on here, but the way I pick myself back up is by thinking of life as a wheel of fortune - sometimes you're at the bottom, sometimes you're at the top, but the wheel NEVER stops spinning. At one point, logically, you HAVE to be on top.

Also, cut yourself some slack. It takes a lot of energy to do all these applications. Celebrate the small successes (eg just getting an application out there) and have a dance around the kitchen or something. Sounds silly, but the little things really help

Love your analogy of the wheel

Anyone reckon Gibson Dunn are still giving out first round interviews, I applied on the deadline and I know they've made offers, assuming a PFO

 

[RVD23]

Does anyone know if HFW has been sending out post-AC rejections?

 

[legaldruid]

Hey guys, anyone heard back from TLT post AC? (Either normal AC or beyond scheme AC)

 

[Applebanana425]

NRF and OC in person ACs! Only time I pass an AC but it’s to get to another AC 🤣

do spots not fill up though? especially in london

From my understanding, if you have a 2:1 or above and can pay you’re fine so don’t stress!

I think the only advantage of applying early is if you're looking to secure scholarships. But even those I think don't have deadlines until June or so (don't quote me on that).

But otherwise, I think the two biggest schools like BPP and ULaw struggle to fill all their spots.
