    It's non-rolling, and they read applications before sending WG invites.

    That's just because various people got multiple tests. They are just clarifying that you only need to do one. We should expect a response post SST by Jan. 20th.

    I don't think it means anything significant, really. Mine updated yesterday for the 1st time. I submitted application on 12th December.

    I am not sure if you read the OP, but they didn't say they expected to "automatically be granted" a VS. They were disappointed they didn't even get "a TI for the Vac Scheme". 😊

    If you're referring to Freshfields, they read applications before sending WG.

    Same here. In the portal, it still says they are "receiving applications." 🤣

    I don't remember them saying applicants need to name the file in any specific way. I just saved it with my name for the workshop application.

    You don't need to add "dear grad. rec...". Just go right in. Then it's why law, why you, why freshfields. Don't think it matters in which order. I was invited to attend one of their insight days and in my application, I sent the file as PDF and did not add word count.

    Midnight tomorrow would be 2nd January. If the deadline is 1st January then you have today until 23:59. Unless they state, 1st January at 10am UK time, for example. But if it's just "1st January" then assume time is up the second it hits 1st.
