Hey, same!

Does anyone know if the VI invite is automatic post-WG, dependant on your WG result, or if your app if reviewed further?

Thanks in advance
https://uk-graduates.bakermckenzie.com/support/application-process/ This says that you get the VI upon the successful completion of the WG, so most probably they have a percentile threshold. Unlikely that the app gets reviewed after the WG since their website says that they do the initial screening before sending you the WG

    Has anyone received anything from Baker today or yesterday? They're being very quiet and I wonder if it's because it's their VS right now and it ends next week (makes me wonder if they'll make us wait until after that is over for WG or even VI invites)

    I think they sent some WG invites yesterday, but not the actual test yet!

    If you have a TC secured and the SQE is fully funded by your company, do you get put into a special SQE class with just your trainee intake from your firm? And would the start/end dates of your course be specific to your firm?

    It seems that the LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) is just over 13 months and runs Sep - Nov. But the firm describes it as being August to August. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this?
