Also, if anyone wants any AC advice on the below, let me know:
Travers Smith - Summer VS
Linklaters - TC
Macfarlanes - TC
Clifford Chance - TC
Going to piggyback off of this and say I’m also happy to help anyone with a Links AC coming up as I was successful!
Well done first of all in getting so far. I agree @Jessica Booker is your best bet for advice. However, you haven't had the offer yet for the direct TC so it may well be worth doing the interview and then seeing what your options are. At worst you will have had final interview experience and at best you will have a nice dilemma to sort out. It's never wise to worry before the problem poses itself.
Is this Taylors Vinters?? PwC uses the exact same games thenI just received that rejection as well.
I will remember in the future to inflate the balloons more and to attempt the locked door combination 1000 more times to better show my 'drive'
Is this Taylors Vinters?? PwC uses the exact same games then
Yup - Taylor Vinters, PwC and Taylor Wessing all seem to be using Arctic Shores game.

So if they offered and wouldn’t give you an extension, you’d turn them down?
I wouldn't worry about it yet, but if you're in the position of getting the TC offer, I'd take it without a second thought. The fact you've applied for that firm shows you must at least have some interest in working there.
A vacation scheme is not guaranteed to lead to a TC- often through no fault of your own, as many firms simply have a set number of TC places to give out post-VS. You can always apply for the other firm post-qualification if you still want to work there.
Thank you for your advice everyone. And I'm not sure whether I want to wait to see if I was successful with the firm I have got the VS for. I really like the firm which is for the direct TC, but my favourite firm is the one I have the VS for in summer.

Really depends on the particular law firm but speaking generally about the kinds of questions that could come up:
- Prepare at least one answer to the question: "Tell me about a recent business news story that interests you and why?'. Prepare answers to expected follow-up questions for your topic.
- Read/listen to the business news daily in the follow-up to your interview.
- Form a basic understanding of M&A, how companies raise finance (equity v debt) and what commercial lawyers do - Christopher Stoakes's books are great starting points for this.
- Have a think about the current opportunities and challenges facing your particular law firm.
I did the WG test for Weil last week. But i havent had a rejection or been invited for VI. Is anyone else in limbo?
I havent heard back either!!! but i know people are getting VI interviews, so im like wtf?!!?
