Those who got Mills Reeve AC can you share what you got in your feedback report and was it for London you guys applied for?

I got a PFO:

Scores: Verbal high, Numeric High
SJT:
Collab: "natural passion and capability"
Getting things done "consistent showcase"
Client focused "some strengths but missed some opportunities"
Business and commercial mindset "requires further development"
Analysis & problem solving : "outstanding"

I assume the AC is more based on the VI performance than the SJT.

Mills & Reeve PFO, kinda been waiting for this.
Applied mid November

 

[vhuskl]

Has anyone else not heard back from Bakers since submitting their application?

Can’t believe I made this mistake again but I somehow thought my Reed smith vi was due today but it was due the 14th. Gen hate myself this is the second time this has happened (can u tell a lot is going for me rn)

Also has anyone heard back from Gowling Birmingham post their vi?

I just checked my portal and its a pfo for me!! Check your portal because it doesnt look like they have sent any emails yet...

 

[M_m]

Does Reed Smith provide personalised feedback for the VI if you’re rejected? Or is it just general tips

 

[Rosie_Kitten]

I'm now nervous. People are getting both ACs and PFOs for Mills & Reeves and Burges salmon... expecting responses soon for both.

 

[DoNotRedeem]

Still nothing from Cooley …

 

[LaDiva]

Are the Mills&Reeve AC invites this afternoon just for regional offices? Applied to London and was told I’d hear back w/c 19th Jan so next Monday..

Was this info in an email?
