Yes I did Rafa

 

[DoNotRedeem]

Still Just aired post application by Cooley . I’d just prefer an outright rejection at this point . What is causing this to happen to me with every firm ?

 

[Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner]

If I had a quid for each day that has passed since I did Milbank stage 1, I’d have 35 quid, which isn’t a lot but it’s a sign that they’re taking a long time to send me the inevitable PFO.

The Bristows VI seems to be a very mysterious process.

It’s not mysterious per se. Just that they send VI invites in one batch, so everyone is doing it now and no one’s going to provide insights to their direct competition. It’s already been said that you get 15 seconds prep time and 60 to 90 seconds answer time depending on the question.
