Someone might have asked already, but anyone know whether Debevoise sends all Open Day invites in one go or if they’re over time? I know there are multiple open days, but didn’t see as many people here get an invite as would be expected

    Hi! Did you get a response to this? Whenever I access the application there is only one question (Can you tell us about a recent commercial issue you have been following – why have you found it interesting?), and no reference to a personal statement.
    That’s weird I have a life history section and a personal statement section with nothing in. I am going to email Grad Rec and check.

    Just chased CMS re my VI and they said that they filled all their AC spots. They are waiting with sending out rejections in case anyone drops out of the AC.

    Very disappointing because I sent my app before other people who have progressed more quickly...
    When did you complete the VI? This is so disappointing :((

    I think this may be more directed to @Jessica Booker, but could anyone possibly explain how the firms mark our written case studies? Who looks over it and is it taken into account alongside the interview performance?
    Can be graduate recruitment or lawyers in the firm that mark it. It will usually be taken into consideration with other assessments (but that is the case for any exercises done at the same time).

    Hi Jessica, I was hoping to get your thoughts on this.

    I had an interview with a firm exactly one week ago and have not heard back. However other candidates have either progressed to an AC a day or two after or received PFO's post interview this week.

    Would this suggest that I have been put on hold or on a waitlist and should I reach out to GR?
