I was thinking likewise for myself... Also, DP as well because I saw they already send out invites so....
I thought the invites were for Spring
Hi! Can I ask how you know invites have been sent out (and specifically for spring)? I know one other person on the forum said so, but I'm confused because everyone else keeps saying they haven't heard back? 😕

Question on repeating information!!

So Travers has the following questions on their application form:
"Please provide details of your main extra-curricular activities and leisure interests.
Please provide details of any positions of responsibility that you have held and your key achievements."

Is it OK to repeat the things I talk about here in the general 'work experience' section? @Andrei Radu (sorry for tagging you for the millionth time 😭😭)

reed smith vi said there's unlimited prep time before answering each question, but all questions must be completed in one sitting once the vi process is started? does it mean i can take a break between each question if i don't close the window? appreciate any insights on what it's really like. tia!

I did it for Dechert and Skadden and was fine, but then I also did it for Jones Day and was not so fine lol.

    Yes most likely!! (But check if they record how long it takes you to do it because I saw that some firms do that on here)
