    I completed the HL WGT about a week ago and I haven’t heard anything although the deadline is the 3rd of Jan so maybe they’ll start making AC invite decisions after that.

    I also did my Willkie VI last week and I think the waiting time is around 10-15 working days but since it is the xmas/nye period it might be that those who did their VI recently won’t hear back until mid Jan.
    Thank you so much! Best of luck to you and hopefully see you at HG and Willkie AC!

    Thank you for sharing! Don't worry, he who sows unceasingly will reap in due course! If you don't mind me asking, are the VS winter, spring, or summer (Linklaters, W&C, Covington, NRF... because I applied for their summer and haven't heard anything yet, so I am supposing a nice little new year PFO gift...)?
    can't speak for the other firms but I didn't receive Linklaters summer AC invite until the end of Jan last cycle, hang in there and good luck!

    On the debevoise application it asks if there is any practice areas that interest us. I have only spoken about one but in detail- do you think its better to talk about 2?
    The actual question states: Please indicate if there are any preferred practice areas that interest you. Since they said "are" instead of "is", I would infer that it would be best to at least mention 2.
