Anyone who has met the DLA Piper VI bench mark - did you complete the practice question?

Does anyone know whether HL send you feedback on the WG automatically, or whether you can email and ask for feedback? Thanks

Congratulations! 🎉 When did you apply/sit the test if you don’t mind me asking?

Thankyou!
I applied around the 1st of December and I received an invite to the VI on the day. I then also received a confirmation that I passed the VI within a space of a few days.

I applied exactly the same time and am still yet to hear. It unnerves me when others are hearing and mine is still under review but suppose it's not a PFO yet so keeping the faith!

Summer

Summer

I applied for Spring and still haven’t heard…

Presuming that’s not a good sign when they likely review the Spring ones first or am I overthinking it? This cycle has driven me insane 😭

 

[pb15]

Any news from Weil or Skadden?

From what I’ve seen in this thread, HSF seem to be reviewing both at a similar time so I wouldn’t worry too much

 

[pb15]

Has anyone been deferred from Dechert Winter to Spring/Summer after doing the VI & written exercise?

Wouldn’t look too much into it.

Do I need to answer a question like the below in an application, I know it is extra space but I am unsure what to write or if it is more directed towards international students or mitigating circumstances that need to be explained?

'If you have any additional information that you consider relevant to your application, please enter it here. If you do not have anything to add, please leave this box blank. [300 words]'

Hi! A question about Davis Polk applications: they require a cover letter and a 'CV and detailed breakdown of your academic results'. Would that mean we have to provide a transcript with our grades (eg. uni, A levels) or merely detail our individual grades on the CV? Thanks
