I received a VS offer, however, I am still waiting for a response from another firm post AC. It's been three weeks since I did the AC. Should I email them asking for my AC outcome and something along the lines of I currently have an offer from another one but they're my top choice? I feel a bit awkward doing this

Hi do they specify the tentative dates for their AC if you pass the test? Say commencing from mid March or something?

Good luck anyway!
Here are the dates for their AC:
Glasgow - 14 & 15 March
Aberdeen - 15 March
Edinburgh - 15 & 16 March
London – 21, 22 & 23 March
Manchester - 21 & 22 March
Leeds - 28 & 29 March
Birmingham - 28 & 29 March

And thank you!

Seeing that Travers Smith calls to give interview offers, i'm a bit concerned because I am an international applicant and live outside the UK. I put down an international number, and perhaps that puts me at a disadvantage? I do have the right to work in the UK and studied there too.
It's just something that has been on my mind.

Yes - it is fine to do this given the amount of time that has passed.

Just been sent WG for NRF but also a behavioural test? is the behavioural test mentioned anywhere on their site? I had no idea they had one of these and would not have applied otherwise

Hi Jessica, I’m through to the virtual assessment morning stage of the vacation scheme application for Farrer & Co and I wondered if you had any advice on what it consists of and how to prepare for it as it is my first AC. All I know is that it is 2 hours and consists of an individual written exercise and a group case study exercise. Thank you!

I don’t know the specifics of the firm’s AC unfortunately.
