Know this will probably be a no, but has anyone actually heard anything at all from McDermott Will & Emery since they submitted their TC application?

Congrats on the VI! Do you mind sharing when you applied?

I applied on the 28th of December and received the VI invite 4 hours later

@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica! Can I ask when the application review of TCLA will re-open? I find I still can not submit it on the system.

The form is now open if you want to submit an application review.

Hi, what was the online assessment like? I had no idea they did online testings

Neither did I, they said its similar to a critical reasoning test on Cappfinity and have given a deadline of the 13th Jan.

Would anyone be able to share any tips on how to prepare for the Weil VI? As in, is it competency-based, or situational, or motivational? Just got the invite!

Does anyone know if you have to do the VI for Addleshaw before the deadline?

Out of curiosity, has anyone heard back for the VI?

Happy New Year everyone! Can I confirm if there are only two questions for Macfarlanes Vacation Scheme application. Also, did you find any section on the form to indicate your preference for Spring or Summer? Thank you.

Hi, does anyone know for the Simmons & Simmons blended assessment whether the video interview question allows for unlimited thinking time or whether it is timed? Thanks!

Does anyone have any insights on what the Taylor Wessing test is actually on. The email didn’t mention anything.

does anyone know if Weil sends VI invites in batches or if I should assume a rejection if I haven’t received mine yet? I can see everyone getting theirs and I’m really worried haha

I'm not sure about how Weil does their VI invites but the one piece of advice I would give is to not try and predict your outcome on the basis of what you see on here. It probably won't be accurate and you never know what the firms are actually doing. Just try and keep it out of mind until you actually find out from the firm.

Weil VI invite too!
