    I would try and find their email on the law firm's website and contact them that way. Usually get a faster response!

    I completely get you - this happened for 2 firms I really wanted this cycle! As much as it sucks and I am sick of hearing it, everything happens for a reason. I just think harsh reflection is the way forward. Best of luck with the AC and final round interview :)

    For Weil's VI, I've seen people say it's only 2 Qs this year but in the email it says there are 4 short Qs? Could someone clarify this for me please :)

    Nope, I'm waiting on Spring - really hope I progress, love the firm! Not overly optimistic though as I've seen other people received VI invites.
