forsters VI!

AI question you can answer at least 4 ways:

* I use AI as part of my research strategy but I didn't use any of its ideas on this occasion
* I used AI as part of my research strategy. I found point X, which it made, to be useful, and researched it before adding it to my answer in my own words.
* I often use AI but don't use it in writing answers because inauthentic
* I use AI as part of my proofreading process to help me spot errors in my content.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the help.

To anyone who has passed through to an AC following a VI for AG, or any firm, how long did you have to prepare for the AC after finding out? I'm hoping its at least a week in between.

heya for mine I've typically had around 7-10 days, but I know some firms may only give you 5 days while others maybe a month!

does anyone have insight or resources for the eversheds internal meeting simulation for the ac? its my first ever ac and idk how to prepare for it so any insight would be appreciated.

i'm in the same boat!
I'd appreciate any advice on the ac in general because it seems like they've changed its structure and only have the simulation and an interview now?

Forsters VI invite

 

[jacksollaf]

LOL. I attended their open day last year; just to not even receive a VI 🥂 Waiting for the PFO confirmation...

They are probably writing this right now: "For those who are not successful at application form stage, we will also endeavour to let you know on the 10th January. Whilst we are unable to provide individual feedback on application forms, we will put together some feedback on the common downfalls and provide some tips for a strong Forsters form."

 

[jojo23]

For the reed smith vi + test, do we have to do them on the same day or can I do it across 2 days?

 

[vshunter]

Not heard back yet following VI, but just wanted to make sure that If I do, I'll have more than a few days to prep lol.

I heard back on 19th and AC was 29th

THIS HAS TO BE THE FUNNIEST FEEDBACK FOR PFOs in the history of applications!! It's a general one for everyone who got PFOd, but please read this:

"AI sentences: Some applicants left sentences in their applications which made clear the answer had been created in AI. For example, the paragraph would start with ‘here is an updated version with more information on...’."
