I also received a similar rejection from Debovoise, stating my application was 'impressive' although I assume it's their standard rejection email.

Anyone who did Weil's VI, did you already got back from the firm? If so, how long did they take? thank you 
Did the video interview in mid-December and haven't heard back yet, don't believe anyone has. Considering ACs tend to be in February I imagine we'll hear back very soon!Anyone who did Weil's VI, did you already got back from the firm? If so, how long did they take? thank you
Is anyone still waiting to hear from K&E regarding the outcome of their VI?
Would imagine it is 23:59 Friday 18th as that's what most firms do
Thats what I thought, guess will just have to wait and see if still there tomorrow!
I agree with Daniel too. I’ve contacted a couple of firms for clarification and it’s been the case with each of them
I would do the earliest date possible provided you feel as though you can prepare well enough! If not then there’s nothing wrong with opting for the second one. I might be wrong, but I think many firms will operate a rolling recruitment strategy at the AC stage so I think the earlier the better
Yeah I got the same: "Whilst your application was certainly impressive"
If this is for Bakers I don’t think they do rolling recruitment. All of the other assessments have not been rolling so I doubt they would start now. Especially as there is only one week between dates. Though in general with other firms it is probably a case of being beneficial to pick early.
If this is Bakers, it makes no difference which date you pick.
Either ways, I’ve always told people that if you’re good, you’re good. If there’s no space, the firm will make space for you.
This does not necessarily apply to all firms but I’m speaking from experience and the experience of others. Choose the date that works best for you and go ahead and prepare.
Good luck!
Did they say anything about encouraging you to apply for a training contract? I can’t tell if it’s generic or not..

Yes it is for Bakers - thank you so much for the advice!
