Does anyone know if TopScore allows other screens to be open during the interview?

Yes it does

Morgan Lewis is making me v nervous! When will we hear?!

 

[tractor12]

I honestly think its a pfo.

Do you think its worth chasing?

Mishcon PFO post-app, exactly five months after I applied 😍

Have you received a direct answer to when it is due? Im busy with work during the weekdays so that additional full day on Saturday will be so helpful

From my understanding and the responses I received, if I received it 2.30pm on Tuesday, within 5 days will be 2.30pm on Sunday. I plan to submit it on Saturday though. Hope that helps 😊

Has anyone else been invited to interview at Mayer Brown since they gave them out last week?

Do you mind asking what firm this is for? Because written exercises can differ quite a lot depending on the firm

Got an email from BCLP this morning, PFO for their Open Day this month, but said it didn't impact upon my VS app and we'll be hearing in the 'near future' about VS/TC outcomes😂

Is anyone yet to hear back from Penningtons and Mishcon? I've seen some people have already done VIs so I'm a bit confused as to why I haven't just been rejected yet?

It's for a Dechert AC if anyone has done one before.

Got a long-awaited PFO from Mishcon one hour ago, still radio silence from Penningtons (applied in early Dec)
