I ended up around 700 words. Hopefully I don't get marked down for it!

I was just under 500 but then again I didn’t identify every issue because I was scared of exceeding the wc

I think anywhere in the region 500-700 should be fine. I remember in one of Willkie’s virtual events Gemma said someone had wrote 2,000 words in 90 minutes…

Idk how they even managed that given the limited time frame tbh. I think I wrote roughly 600 words. 🥲

I think the word count for previous exercises was about 600 but they changed the written exercise this year so they can’t really be compared. 🙂

Right now. Why are they sending it by almost midnight 😭

Congrats! May I know when is your open day?

 

[sooae]

I hope Debevoise has other invites that they will send later on, because I am actually going to be so sad if I don't get it; because it's the firm I spent the most time on and it's at the top of my list with Gibson

I hope so too. I think they have 3 dates for open day from feb -march. Hopefully they only sent the ones for this feb? :/

2000?? Did they get through??

Nope. 🥲🥲

Gemma said It was all waffle and didn’t answer a single question right; they wrote about random things that did not bare any relevance to the task.

I think one thing they will be assessing is how well we’re able to write clearly, concisely and succinctly. 🙂

Hi, received the interview invite on the 3rd of Feb, I applied very late tbh close to the deadline. I don't think theres any reason to be worried yet!

Cool, thanks so much! Applied close to the deadline too so I’m worried about this, but I guess no news is good news. Huge congrats on the interview, I’m sure you’ll smash it!

Congrats! May I know when is your open day?

There are two dates in February and one in march. I think 90 people will get invited as they said max of 30 people per open day in the email.

Got an offer yesterday for their spring
