They sent VIs out in batches - so ACs may be allocated based on that. Also where did you get the dates?

Thanks for replying. It was in the email of invitation to the VI. There are 24, 26, 31 and 2nd Feb. So all dates are close.
If anyone wants help on the kirkland AC, I did it last year and am happy to provide guidance. PM me
I got an email on a Wednesday for an AC on a Monday. Since I believe two batches for Spring were sent out early next week will probs be hearing from them
For anyone who applied to CMS and has completed the WG waiting for a VI, are you just assuming PFO now as well?
I really felt like I passed the WG. However, I have seen people who did the WG after me get VI invites and they have already held two AC's I think.
What do people think?

any tips I would be grateful toodoes anyone have advice for mishcon vi? I’m terrible at VIs but really want this firm
I would appreciate any tips?Hi everyone - I got a VI invite from Mishcon de Reya! If anyone has any advice it would be really appreciated
Hi! How was your interview? What was the type of questions they asked you and was the news article on a mainstream topic?
When's the AC if I can ask please? Trying to work out if I'm PFOd, applied around the same time and haven't heard back
Has anyone else noticed the spelling errors on Dechert's website? Being the cynic I am I'm wondering if it's deliberate to see who points it out. But then I'm torn wondering do they like it being noted (attention to detail) or do they see it as obnoxious? Ahh why does this process make me over-think EVERYTHING?
Haha yes, I did notice them! I decided not to say anything, as I doubt they'd want hundreds of emails telling them so! (+ I did pass the app stage, so not pointing it out didn't impact my app).
nb. I've also seen errors on maybe 10 other websites, so I think (hope) it just proves that the firms are human!
If a firm asks about a "business development opportunity", could this be something like a new client? Things like their sector offering, practice area offering, and tech solutions offering all seem really good, and I can't find obvious improvements other than an expansion of a sector or a new client. TIA.
@Jessica Booker would love your opinion on this

Well I did think that too, but then thought, surely people must have mentioned it to them so why haven't they amended it? That's when my conspiracy theories started haha. Well done on passing the app stage! I've got a pretty strong feeling I won't have passed any. 😩
