Made 14 applications, got an interview at Dentons and ACs at Linklaters, Mayer Brown and K&L Gates. Also done the Watson Glaser for Simmons & Simmons and waiting for a response from that.

Still waiting to hear from:

Skadden (expecting a PFO)
Clyde & Co
White & Case
Ince & Co
Clifford Chance
Bird & Bird (currently being partner reviewed apparently)
Slaughter & May
Squire Sanders
Farrer & Co

Anyone heard anything from any of those?

When did you hear about the K&L Gates AC?

Hi all. New to the site. Just got frustrated by the silence. So far:

PFOs from trowers (9/8), DLA (9/8), B&M (12/8) and FFW (14/8).

Heard from travers on 16/7 to say they won't be holding any more interviews until mid August and bird &bird on 13/8 to say my application was being reviewed by partners.

Other than that, complete silence from
Penningtons
Eversheds (though I suspect that's a silent PFO)
RPC (post VRT)
Withers
Bristows

This thread has been useful. I found the password to my old account so I can return the favour.

Allen & Overy- PFO
Ashurst- nothing
Baker & McKenzie- nothing
Bristows- nothing
GLS- waiting after CRT
Hogan Lovells- PFO
Linklaters- PFO

Has anyone got any thoughts on the one's I'm still waiting to hear back from? Are they as good as rejections?

Hi Elelbee, welcome. If you don't mind me asking, when did you apply to Mischon? I'm also still waiting to hear from Withers, but from the comments on the thread to date it seems everyone else is too.

Has anyone heard from Forbes? Can't say I'm particularly encouraged by their website, which says that they interview in mid-August...but I haven't heard of either offers or PFOs.

Clyde & Co are silent. When did you hear from K&L if you don't mind me asking?

Original post by Subtle15

Basically it was a case of my (unique but impressive) profile wouldn't have stood a chance against the Oxbridge mob, which is fair enough. Saved me an application.

..... Give me strength!!!!

Hi,

I'm new to this thread, but was wondering if your PFO's from Hogan Lovells have been after you completed the critical reasoning test or before?

I completed the test last week but have still not heard anything!

Thanks

It was my first time with that kind of test too. Wishing you all the best! I'll let you know when I hear anything from them.

Thank you - will do the same! No news as yet...

You mentioned that we should hear by 8pm today. Where did you see that? I must have missed that piece of info.... Hope it's right. The waiting is tough!
