Yeah I had mine on Tuesday - when’s yours? I assume they have a few ACs and do it in batches! Is yours for spring too?

First week of February, ahahah, and yes it's for Spring! Would you mind if I DMed you for tips?

I have the White & case VI coming up — I know lots of people did it already, and would appreciate any tips! Would the questions be more standard competency questions or should i prepare myself?

Congratulations! When did you get your invite

@Andrei Radu Hi Andrei! I haven’t heard back from DPW at all. I reached out to the GR about the status of my application but they said they’re still considering applications - which I’m not sure about since I’ve heard they tend to hold their interviews over a smaller time period (one week) and the first round began this Monday.

Do you reckon I should just assume a PFO for my own mental peace?

hey! when did you apply to Davis Polk?

Haha oh. I’m sure that it will still be for Spring - they probably only had capacity to take so many in the first AC. And yeah of course! ☺️

HL has a very high conversion rate, good luck!

Good luck, I’m sure you got this one nonetheless.

@Jessica Booker Hi

Sorry to bother, had a quick question on general application submissions. I just submitted an application that had an online work experience section and resume submission section. I submitted my CV but not a cover letter as it didn't ask for one. Is that an OK approach? Would you recommend submitting cover letters in future if the platform allows multiple submissions. I know it probably would have helped but I didn't have time, so just checking how helpful it would have been to submit a cover letter too.

Any Kirkland AC insights?

 

[pmpmpm123]

Anyone heard back from Latham post AC?

Hey, when did you do your AC?

anyone who has done the Forsters VI, did you get a confirmation email after completing the interview?

If I haven't heard back from the following firms by now (Katten, Milbank, Weil, Goodwin, Latham, Akin, Sidley Austin, HL, HFW), should I assume they're all PFOs?

Sidley will take time, Weil is still sending VIs (quite spread apart), and Milbank has sent out ACs for just Spring from what I've noticed. I received my Latham PFO, so if you haven't, I would take that as a good sign.

Thank you fr, very helpful

No, but a follow up email from them said that you won’t receive a confirmation email. Once you watch the thank you video, your response should be saved
