just got W&C VI invite!! Any and all advice is appreciated. I submitted Mayer Brown and Gibson Dunn way back in October, and just saw a couple people on this forum get progressed. Safe to assume its a PFO?

I have an interview with Slaughter and May next week and trying to speedrun my current affairs knowledge and ability to debate / have a coherent viewpoint. Does anyone have any general advice for the interview? I'm also a History student so I'm also prepping for questions like 'Why not politics/academia/banking' and when I get asked what my favourite module is.
For what it's worth, I'm from an Oxbridge background but still quite nervous about the nature of the interview where they can pick up on any topic/theme you mention + ask random questions on it.
Also, is it safe to assume PFO from HSF and Latham & Watkins if I haven't heard back yet? I did go to the Latham Open Day but had to rush my VS application. Passed HSF test benchmark on 9th Dec.

Heya feel free to private message me about this- I did a vac scheme here last year
No no, it's way too early to determine if it's a PFO for HSF summer:
1) I haven't seen anyone receive an AC invite for the summer
2) They might start sending out AC invites for Spring; summer seems a tiny bit too early (probably end of Jan...)
3) I also applied fo the summer and passed the benchmark so I am praying that it's not a PFO
Have you done it yet? Just wondering whether it's a "here's your question, you have 90 seconds to think of an answer" (so you need to be prepped in advance) or a "here's the first question, you can record the answer whenever you're ready" type of vi.
For those who got the Goodwin VI I did the vac scheme last year. There was no VI element, this is the first year.
I am happy to answer any questions anyone has about the firm and wishing you all the best with the VI 🥳

applied at 16:56 on the last day (the deadline was 17:00).
Hi - Can someone who has completed the W&C VI, please share insights on DM. I can share information for Linklaters, HSF, AOS, and Sidley.
Yep even the grad rec website doesnt mention a VI, just an interview
Does anyone have insight (maybe someone attended an open day) on the app process?
