when did you guys apply?

I applied 20th September and just got it

 

[MDLegal]

Passed HSF benchmark in December for the summer vac. Should I assume PFO at this stage? ( I've seen a few invites for summer on here already)

 

[Chris Brown]

Does anyone know what the next stages of the application process are following the Paul Weiss online test? Thanks!

I think Paul mentioned they would review applications again alongside test scores and successful applicants would be invited to interviews. 🙂🙂

Has anyone heard from Ashurst for summer vs? Either PFOs or next stage progressions

Paul, Weiss test - applied a day before the deadline.

 

[legallyad]

They called you!! Wow I never expect calls, when did you apply?

I wasn't going to answer as well lol! I applied on the 3rd of January, a few days before deadline I think

 

[Miss Chocolate]

[applicationzzzzz]

Hi does anyone have any insights into the Milbank AC? Thanks so much!

I would also appreciate any insights! Also what is the intake flow like generally for Milbank from application to AC to VS?

Haven’t heard anything myself but I’ve seen people be invited to written exercise. I also received an email saying to expect to hear back by feb

Does anyone know if the Paul, Weiss test has a recorded interview component?

I think it’s just SJT, numerical and verbal reasoning style questions. I don’t think there is a prerecorded interview component. 🙂

 

[KBanana]

Do you guys think Paul, Weiss will be sending out anymore tests or is this it for the rest of us? 😢

 

[annad]

The Womble Bond Dickinson app form does not seem to have any space to input university grades (module breakdown) – do you have the same issue?

 

[coolpanda]

Just received Paul Weiss WG invite - surprised since I put in less work versus my Cooley App but they didn't give me the WG. I applied to Paul Weiss the day before the deadline

On their website it says "Shortlisted candidates will be invited to participate in interviews and assessments" - there must either be an interview component, or an interview following the online assessment if you do well

Yeah I think it would be like an in person AC. 🙂

There might be a motivational and competency based interview and maybe a case study interview.

Guess we will find out when the time comes! 🥲
