White and Case VI invite!! Any tips?

Spring Vac, applied early Nov.

Do it with a tip sheet in front of you to remind you of what to think when you're answering each section of the test - I did that and it really helped me! Would be happy to send over a word document myself and a friend put together if that'd be helpful?

I would also really appreciate this, thank you very much

Just checked my PwC portal and rejection unfortunately!

Congrats! Sounds like W&C have forgotten about tc apps from last cycle or something. Maybe they just don’t get back to everyone who applies (heard the same about Milbank)

I've received a WG invite today and as soon as I got it I replied with my medical docs for adjustments... GR said they're only active between 9-5pm Mon-Fri but they haven't replied confirming the adjustments and the test is due 9am Monday :/ do you think it's okay for me to just wait to do the test once they send me the adjusted one?

Congrats! when did you apply??

Very basic question but when you do get invites - do they call you or do they send you an email?

I've received four VS offers in the past and three were via email. It varies from firm to firm and it even seems to vary between cycles in my experience. I was emailed one year, then the following year my friend received a call about the VS from the same firm.

Everyone who has heard back from PWC, was your portal updated? My app still says under review so I'm trying to manifest a VI invite 😅
