    omg that's so great to hear! I just got an open day invite and was immediately dreading having to do another VI for their VS application.

    In my opinion it's definitely still worth it. I'm sure there are people waiting until after they've attended the open day before submitting their application. The deadline is not until January so definitely still apply! Good luck!

    What's taking Bakers so long? I get that they're reviewing the changes made to the application process, but has anyone heard any updates regarding a potential time frame?

    At the BM non-law open day last month, they said that they’re considering changing the application process (potentially scrapping the Watson Glaser). That might be a reason for the delay but this is just a guess.

    Hi, does anyone know if White & Case's interviews for the vacation scheme are CV/application blind?

    Congratulations! That's amazing! Can I ask what date your AC is/how long you get to prepare for it?

    Hi, I would say email them as soon as possible and explain the situation. If you have any evidence as well (maybe screenshots or emails) attach it to the email. HSF's grad rec team are very understanding based on my interactions with them. It is probably a technical error on their end. Good luck! :)

    I haven’t received one yet. I know the AC is fairly intense so I wanted to get a head start

    Just to gain some point of reference, do you mind sharing how long you got to complete the interview after submitting your application for the WVS?

    Oh no, I haven't got an offer yet. I haven't even submitted my application🤣 After submitting the application, we have to complete a 5 min automated video interview. I was just wondering how long we get before we have to complete it.

    Depending on your word count, I would say #3 as it's the only grammatically correct option. However, you could also write "Herbert Smith Freehills' (HSF) clients..."

    HSF vac scheme after first year scheme

    I spoke to Hiral Shah and it's fine to use the same topic. However, for question 2 and 3, it's best to update it. Maybe include some info regarding what you learned during the first-year scheme and include more recent work experience if you did any between April and now. Hope this helps!
