nah some people there didn't do one i'm pretty sure -- I just guess the fact you haven't been rejected means you're still being considered thoughAm I right in understanding that only those, who have attended an open day/insight event have only been invited to an AC. As there has been 2 batches of PFO and some of us have received that "holding email", is it fair to assume there is a decent shot we'll get an AC invite?
Hi there, you may find this advice from @James Carrabino helpful (https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....-discussion-thread-2021-22-1.4199/post-113309). I also recall there were some discussions about the approach to Orrick's application questions on past forums, so it might be worthwhile to rummaging through that if you can't find anything here.
They wont be impressed or upset, they will just matter of fact review it and give you an outcome earlier.Question about expedited results:
Hey everyone, I have an AC day from Cleary Gottlieb coming up (that will be difficult for me to attend) and I also did my Slaughter and May Summer Work Experience interview early this week - they said they would get back to candidates 'by early march'. They also said that we could ask for an expedited response if we heard anything back (offers, important stages, etc.) from other firms. Slaughters is by far my first choice. I was wondering what the process actually is for an expedited response. Are they more likely to reject you if you say you have an offer or similar from another firm? Or will they be impressed and want to take you on more?
I received the VI invite on 18/1 and completed the online assessment on 9/1.When did you receive your VI invite and complete the WG if you don't mind me asking?
Congratulations, is this for the London office?I received the VI invite on 18/1 and completed the online assessment on 9/1.
When did you apply? 😊I received the VI invite on 18/1 and completed the online assessment on 9/1.
If it is 300 words, they are not expecting you to include formalities like addresses, just an appropriate welcome and sign off structure.Thank you so much Jessica!
They say to ensure that it is stricter as a formal business letter would I still need to include their address etc and mine at the top? I am wary that the word count is 300 words.
@Jessica Booker
I would try to call them first rather than email - you may get a quicker response. If you can’t speak to someone, then email.Yes, thanks for the advice.
I assume grad rec will not be working weekends. So I'm planning on emailing them on Monday.
It's frustrating because I will be in the flight the times they have the AC's going on - meaning I will not be able to join virtually.
No - we don’t have this. I wouldn’t expect a non law student to have this kind of knowledge though unless they have studied the GDL.Is there a thread on TCLA that outlines all the legal concepts/legal knowledge that non-law students should be aware of and fully understand?
Neither - it is not going to change how they view your you as a candidate, it will just force them to make a decision earlier if they need to.Question about expedited results:

Hi, I did the VI for the IP workshop back in 2022. Not sure if the format has changed since but it was one behavioural question and one motivation question back then.Hey guys! Not sure if we are discussing direct TC applications on here, but if anyone has done the Bristows VI, please could I have a quick chat about the format and just need some general tips for preparation! thank you so much <3
Yes and I applied on 23/12Congratulations, is this for the London office?
Thank you!I wouldn’t repeat these questions in the cover letter. Just focus on why you.
Thank you! Yeah I did that one too but just wondered if it would be any different for the TC. I think I am going to prepare for the motivational and competency questions but don't want to be thrown off by questions that you would expect from a face-to-face interview.Hi, I did the VI for the IP workshop back in 2022.

What is the Fieldfisher online assessment? Is it similar to the Arctic Shores test?
