Okay that has reassured me!
I did the Freshfields first year scheme and checked to see when they sent the WG for that. They sent it 2-4 weeks after the initial application which is promising

Yeah very true I’ll be lucky to get a VI invite from W&C lmao
Fingers crossed it’s good news!
give it till the end of this week. grad rec will most certainly email by Friday.
What a weird thing to say…
Possibly same for me. I practiced a lot and have passed similar tests for other firms but maybe they have a high benchmark. Who knows! It’s frustrating but there are always other opportunities and staying positive is always helpful!
The 3 of them were all 1 month programmes over the course of summer.
If you have good grades and are top of your class it is quite easily accessible in Belgium... (At least compared to London from what I see here 😅)
I think I have to disagree, a lot of firms have offices in Brussels purely for competition work etc, so even if the individual had worked in a boutique firm etc I think that would have been extremely valuable as well!
I agree with @yasmars that it is an excellent way to demonstrate dedicated to international work especially at such notable firms
I don’t agree with this tbh. They could have an interest in EU Competition Law in which case these internships would be beneficial for their applications, especially since Brussels is a major hub for EU Competition Law.
Most city firms are also international by nature anyway. Having some knowledge of other legal markets is going to be useful, especially when dealing with cross-border issues and instructing overseas counsel.
Why would it be unlikely for this person to have secured 3 big internships? Why would they not be substantial? This just sounds like you are undermining someone’s success. Having 3 MC internships is an achievement!

Congratulations on securing 3 MC internships!
You’ve done really well! Best of luck in all of your VS/TC applications! 🏆
Thank you, much appreciated! Best of luck to all of you guys as well 🙏
How long does the process of VS generally take after application deadlines close?
Hi
I have the Ashust AC tomorrow and it is the first time I have ever gotten past the application stage for any firm. I don't have anything to offer but I would be beyond grateful if you could share any insights into the written exercise.
Thank you if you can!
Does anyone have advice preparing for a business case study as part of an AC. I am trying to research recent news stories etc but is so overwhelming as there are so many different things it could be on, any one have any advice?
Congratulations! may I ask when you did the VI? Also regarding the VI section the K&E application portal, did the "completed date" change to a date after you actually had submitted the VI?
Do I assume a PFO for K&E and W&C if I haven't heard anything for summer schemes? This is just after the application stage, with no test invite or anything.

Yes, if your friend is happy to submit on your behalf they can do this. It will need to be via their account though rather than via you.
I’m in the same position and not sure either! Trying to be optimistic but losing hope
