Hi all, silly question, but for those who were put on hold by S&C, could you share exactly what the holding email said? Thanks!
For me they said:

Dear [...],

I write further to recent communications in regard to your application for a 2025 summer placement with Sullivan & Cromwell LLP.

The Recruitment Committee has now reviewed your application and for the short term, we would like to place your application on hold. We will consider your application again in the coming weeks (post application deadline), at which time we will advise you as to whether or not you have been shortlisted for interview.

Again, may I thank you for your continued interest in Sullivan & Cromwell; we look forward to being in contact with you soon.

Regards,

would appreciate some help regarding this question on the burges salmon vs application: "Burges Salmon offers a six-seat training contract across a wide range of practice areas. Discuss 3 areas that you would be most interested in spending time in."
what am i meant to "discuss" in this? does it mean why I'm interested in those areas, or does it mean talk about those areas in general and discuss recent news about them? or both?

Hi all, I applied to Cooley a bit late due to illness post attending the 11th Dec Meet Cooley event. Should I have received the Watson Glaser already or am I cooked. I submitted on the 23rd early morning. Deadline is 31st.
I applied today, it's rolling but from what I understand they do not give AC's until after the deadline and the test is not automatic!

I would expect that this needs to be more motivational based.
