    Yes, thanks for the advice. I assume grad rec will not be working weekends. So I'm planning on emailing them on Monday. It's frustrating because I will be in the flight the times they have the AC's going on - meaning I will not be able to join virtually.

    I've got an invite to an AC but I'm not in the country for the dates they've provided. The AC includes a group exercise as well. Not sure on what to do. Does anyone have any tips?

    Reed Smith VI invite (at last!) If anyone knows the structure (i.e. how long we have to answer questions, whether questions are just motivational or firm-related and commercial) or has any insight, it would be much appreciated if you could share that info with me!

    I applied a week ago for Kirkland. Will it have much of an impact if I complete my VI on the last day? I have a very busy schedule at the moment.

    Hi, does anyone roughly know how strict Kirkland are with the initial app? Do they give a lot of the applicants the VI? trying to gauge how long I should spend on the app on whether if they will give me a VI with a lesser quality app if that makes sense.
