Is the Covington interview a case study interview or just a chat?

@Jessica Booker - quick question about the Sidley application. They seem to only let you put 4 work experiences onto the form, so you have the choose your four most relevant placements/jobs. I have done this, but would like to allude to a 5th experience I have had in the 'why law' part of the application. I haven't included among my top 4 work experiences because it was very brief, but it was nonetheless pretty formative to my decision to pursue commercial law. But, if its not in the work experience section, should I leave it out?

They don't They said at an event that they don't disclose because they don't want applicants to guess the firm's benchmark

I think its just a standard interview, alongside the group assessment. Having a look around here for interview experiences, they do seem to ask some weird questions

It is fine to include it.

Congratulations! If you don't mind, when did you complete your VI and written assessment? I just finished mine last week, not sure if I should be expecting a PFO
