Thank you, saved me my night!! Alternatively, do you think Gibson Dunn would be too late now?
You could try, it would be really though tho, I applied on the 11th of October and still haven't heard back whatsoever from them even though I participated at their First Year Insight Day + I am pursuing a dual degree in English and French Law, with one month experience at Baker McKenzie (Middle East) and two-month traineeship in a leading arbitration firm in Paris! Also, someone applied in September and already got an invite for the interview early December so it might be really tough; unless you're CV is really strong, then perhaps you could attempt to... Or else, just wait next cycle, prepare the questions from now, perfect them, and the second they open in September just apply immediately!

Hey can you direct me to where It says K&E is rolling, kinda gutted I spent the last 3 days on this application to find this out so late
I went to the open day this year, and i’m pretty sure HR said that they are (sort of) rolling but that it is still fine to submit on the deadline day. Anecdotally, I have a friend who applied late last cycle and still got an interview :)

who else despises video interviews 🥲

just completed one, had unlimited time to prepare, and genuinely had (I think) great answers to all of them, but as soon as I'm recording i stutter, and lose my train of thought.

it's so annoying because i'd literally be fine if it wasn't recorded. i'm so good at interviewing in person or over zoom, just can't seem to face the camera

Something that helped me is blurring your screen so you can't see yourself
