Hello! Does anyone have insights into the Vinson & Elkins VI? Can offer insights into several others!

 

[FutureTraineeMaybe]

Hi @Abbie Whitlock , I hope you're doing well! i was just wondering how would you tackle this question and if is it okay to include an example of a time you showed the trait you are mentioning ? - Describe three characteristics that you believe make an outstanding Ropes & Gray lawyer and how that lawyer would drive our business (500 words)

Is this for the Spring or Summer Scheme? Can't seem to see that anyone has heard back for AG Manchester in summer that's all. Hoping they are dealing with them in order. Can only hope.

 

[Kenomy]

Sorry to ask again but has anyone heard back?

I've got an AC with them tomorrow. Heard back last Friday

Got a call from AG today Manchester that they tried listening to my voice interview but there was a technical issue so I have to rerecord. So it seems like they're still working through TIs for Manchester

NRF AC. Kinda shocked cos I thought my VI was terrible

 

[Mvla]

Covington can't do this to me. They better be sending out AC's in batches

Hello @Abbie Whitlock
I was just wondering for written exercises, what do we include in the conclusion of the memorandum, and then how do we close it?

Also, I read somewhere about short advice note - please may you explain what this is and how it differs to a report, and how to structure it?

Thank you

AG AC London

Congrats! May I ask when you completed your VI?

 

[Legallylaw]

Anyone heard anything from TLT?

 

[TheSlapDotCom]

hey guys i js completed my first ever Amberjack and got 7/4/4/9js wondering whether this is shit or okay ?? cz im not entirely sure how this is measured...

 

[LH4]

Does anyone have an idea on Mischons benchmark for the Amberjack? I got 6 for Grit, 7 for applied intellect, 7 for digital mindset but... 4 for creative force lolll

It was my first amberjack so its fine just a bit worried
