Thanks! I guess they have set dates throughout the application cycle where they respond back to applications. Hopefully, it won't be too long!

Congratulations!! May I ask how did you find the behaviour-based assessment please? Any tips available - I found very little information about it online. Thank you!
When did you hear from Mishcon? And was this London for Eversheds?
It was London for Eversheds, yep. I initially heard from Mishcon with a VI invitation around... the 20th of December, I think? I remember I did the VI on Christmas Eve. I've just heard back following the VI today!
Can I ask if you have any general advice? Also if you completed it on a phone or laptop? And also if you had 2 weeks to do it in?I completed it last Thursday
Apologies for all the questions!
I completed it on my phone! Theres not a lot you can do to practice for it. And yes I had 2 weeks!
When you do an interview and totally flunk it 😩
I applied to Willkie in early October, did my VI in mid October and got invited to AC part 1 (written exercise) in October. I recently got an email that the written exercise will not be taking place until February ("within 4 weeks"). You'll be fine- send in your application.
You honestly never know! I have definitely had interviews where i thought they went better than they had and those I thought I had messed up but thankfully hadn't. Sometimes the things we labour over in our minds will barely have registered with the interviewers so try not to worry and cause yourself any unnecessary tension. Regardless of the outcome, all interviews are a great learning experience as well.
Can anyone tell me who to address the Gibson Dunn cover letter too? sorry if this has already been asked but can't seem to find it online?
I haven't received anything but it seems most people who have heard back did their VI's in December so maybe they're going chronologically
Problem is I did the VI in December.I haven't received anything but it seems most people who have heard back did their VI's in December so maybe they're going chronologically

In that case, as long as you haven't received a rejection yet you're still very much in the running!!
