HSF AC!
Edit: This was for summer VS. Also, I was rejected for this year’s Disputes Open Day, so please don’t be put off!

Did everyone receive this PFO from Davis polk: "We have carefully reviewed your CV and although your credentials are impressive, we are unable to invite you to interview with our Firm."
I think it's primarily through direct TC route from what I remember from a conversation I had with them at a law fair.
i heard the day afterwards in the morning at 9 am, they are very quick if you pass in my opinion but it really depends, some people hear after a week, but i would say not more than a week
Yes, I also got this, with the font in all different sizes?

Yes - especially if you can get it in over the weekend. A good 20%+ of people are likely to apply in the last 24-48 hours.
To anyone who has done an AC with Linklaters, how long did it take for them to get back to you? Thank you!!
finally a DPW PFO post interview
How long does Mayer Brown take to send us the tests? I'm also wondering - the website doesn't sound as though we are screened before being sent the tests, but I haven't been sent it yet and I applied yesterday. Is it not automatic? Thank you!
Could I please get some insight into answering this question @Jessica Booker : "Please provide us with more details of your achievements, scholarships, positions of responsibility, insight schemes, open days and virtual work experience opportunities, extra-curricular activities and everything else that interests you" (2,000 character limit)
I'm having a hard time fitting everything in within the small limit and choosing what to write about. I feel I can talk about 4 things well as I'm:
- Writing in reverse chron. order
- Using examples that have two parts i.e. Pos.of Res. where i had an achievement or Scholarships/Award that was part of an achievement.
- Clumping open days, insight schemes and virtual experiences into one paragraph and briefly talking about what I learned (no event or firm details)

I would personally suggest highlighting the specifics of the open days, insight schemes and virtual experiences you have completed. But the rest of your approach seems very sensible/logical.
@Jessica Booker I was wondering if you could give some advice!
This is my first time being invited to an AC, and it is virtual. I am unsure what to expect, as most of the information I can find relates to in person ACs.
I am actually quite lost on what exactly am AC entails.
Moreover, if I have already done a VI, is it expected to do another during an AC?
