2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

I didn’t for this year, sorry! Just guessing in June/July sometime (a friend did it a couple years ago and I’m fairly certain it was late-June) and good luck for Friday!!
So you get 3 questions, each 1m30 in length and 30s preparation time before each one - questions are about the firm, the legal industry overall and you get one competency one too - prepare as you would for any other interview, just practice condensing in 1m20 (10s room for any pauses etc.) - hope that helps!
Tips for Freshfields vac scheme AC?
Guys, could I get a brutally honest opinion about the follow query:
I have an interview with Ashurst, and one of the reasons why I am applying to them is because of their strong Australian presence. My family is moving to Australia by the end of the year, and while I intend to stay in London for the next 3-10 years or so, having the option of eventually moving would be nice (which is why I find Ashurst so attractive as it would make the transition smoother). In a Vac Scheme interview, would it be appropriate to give this as a reason for applying? On one hand, it is probably one of the most personal and compelling reasons I can give. On the other hand, I don't want them to think of me as a 'temporary hire' who only sees them as a stepping stone to somewhere else.
What do you think?

What do you think?
When you say the questions are predictable if “you have a good understanding of the firm”, do you mean they may ask a specific question regarding one of the firm’s initiatives, jurisdictions, or practice areas etc? Or is it more broad?
I would say that I didn’t feel there were any curveballs in what they asked. It was very in line with my research on the firm. I would just say make sure you have a good understanding of white & case opposed to preparing specific answers
MB has had one AC and in my interview he said they will hold ACs in March too so yes
Has anyone heard anything from Winston & Strawn yet?
Also, does anyone know what the next stages are?
