    Hey! Has anyone heard back from MIshcon for the summer VS? I applied on the 20th of December and I'm still waiting to hear whether I got a VI invite or not.
    I emailed recruitment and they said they received so many they will get back to us end of February?? I thought it would be on a rolling basis.


    Thanks a lot!
    They're non rolling, they just review apps as they come

    Thanks for sharing the response from the grad rec team! Their website states non rolling.

    Someone here claimed they had received a VI invite for the summer VS but I took it with a pinch of salt.

    Out of curiosity, if you have a presentation at the start of the interview and the firm gives you the option whether to use slides or not, is that something you would use? ✅ ❌?
    Do what works for you - either approach is fine and I have seen both work incredibly well (and in some cases both not so well).

    Hi. I hope this isn't a silly question, but I'm curious about the time limit for 'recently'. For instance, if an application question says, 'Give a recent example of a goal you have set for yourself', how far back in the past is acceptable?
    For me this would be the last 12 months.

    @Jessica Booker- I want to purchase one of the TCLA written exercise packs as I have my first-ever AC written exercise coming up (OC AC), I was wondering which one I should select between the Technical written exercise and the Legal and Commercial Analysis written exercise. What is the difference between the two? Thanks :)

    I know there have been a few questions about the OC AC Watson Glaser. I emailed grad recruitment and was told the following:
    • The Watson Glaser test has been moved to our in-person phase so will not feature in your virtual assessment. Interviews are also in our in-person assessment centre.
    So it's literally just the research task. Hope that helps anyone that's confused :)
