    Watson Glaser invite from Weil! :D This one has really been stressing me out and causing serious anxiety as I saw several people had applied a few weeks after me and already been invited. For those still waiting, hang in there! For reference, I applied on 3/12/2020.

    I think this is definitely all three rolled into one. Whatever you don't manage to cover here about the firm specifically (as you are limited to only 500 words) you can cover in the other question.

    I usually put my experience with the Pro Bono Society under a work experience section when there isn't enough space to expand on it sufficiently elsewhere in the application. I also include a misrepresentation claim I brought in the County Court as well.

    Jesus, that was quick. Waiting to hear about mine. Submitted on 3rd December. Just got the first rejection from a firm I was really interested in - Willkie after VI :( This one stings a bit (a lot). I actually thought I had done quite well on the VI and was pretty pleased with my answers. FML.

    Sounds like they are splitting up the half-day AC and reducing the number of people going to interview rather than scoring both those tasks together.

    Just do your best. If you have been ill the entire time or have other mitigating circumstances then ask for an extension. Otherwise not really any excuse for not completing it in time.

    Oh really, what is this new written exercise? It was supposed to be a written exercise and interview during a half-day AC.

    Amazing, well done. It will be two weeks tomorrow that I did the VI but I did get an email saying we would have a decision by Xmas Eve. So hopefully shouldn't be too much longer. When did you complete your VI?
