    Just did a VI and I'm not feeling great because I got nervous and stumbled over my words on a question. Does anyone know if this is assessed on a VI or just the content of your answer?

    For A&O's assessment, do I complete the VI at the same time as the assessment or is there another sort of link I will be sent for the VI?

    I applied on 29/09 and still haven't heard. Sidley's turnaround time is meant to be quick so I am worried

    1. Someone told me they got a first-stage interview invite with Gibson Dunn a few days ago. Though, they submitted their app in early September 2. Unsure about this one. Emailing grad rec is probably the right course of action

    Hi Gemma, I am currently completing the Willkie application form and noticed there is no space to put in GCSE results. Do you not ask for them or should I put it in the additional information box?

    Not really. essentially you'd have to apply for a TC separately, which means you'd need to do the interview after the workshop. Also because S&M recruits on a rolling basis, you might end up interviewing for a later intake. So you don't necessarily convert, you basically just don't have to...

    Hi guys, I really want to train at a US firm but I g There's definitely no difference or advantage. Some firms reserve winter schemes for finalists/graduates so just check to see which one you are eligible for. Aside from that, apply for whichever one you are available to do

    Hi Gemma, I was wondering if it is okay to list open days as work experience. Or should we only talk about them in the open-ended questions?
