    Does not hearing from V&I today mean a PFO is coming?

    Thank you for the information! I also tried reaching out to their grad team through LinkedIn but they haven't responded yet. I applied late, on either 31/12 or 01/01. Sometimes no news is good too, but I can't stop feeling anxious about the process! When did you apply by the way?

    With regards to Latham, I have seen 2 people on TCLA getting VI invites. Does the mid-February deadline mean that those who will receive rejections should expect to hear by then? I am already distressed by their silence as it was my dream firm and I had even attended an open day with them...

    I am waiting to hear from them too, and I saw some people mention that they send them in batches. Hope we hear from them soon. The wait is horrible!

    I think I got it in a week or two after. I submitted my app in the first week of the year and heard back from them in mid January.

    Interesting. They have sent out 2 VI invites though. Does this mean that they are sending them in batches as people have suggested on here?

    The test was honestly the most difficult one I have done so far. Did you get through to the next stage?

    Does anyone know how long does Mayer Brown take to get back to candidates after the Verbal Test? Also, am I screwed if I didn't do well on the test? Scored "average" on the best. Don't know what went wrong, usually do well on those. Hope it turns out well.

    Hope we both hear some good news from them soon! Which OD did you attend if I may ask?

    Congrats! I haven't been to their interview yet (TC interview in March), but from what I have seen at their Winter Workshop, it is a conversationalist interview. The current affairs part is basically you summarising an article and defending your points against partners. It can look scary but...

    Thanks for letting me know. I was afraid I was getting rejected as Latham is my dream firm. I attended their open day this year and worked really hard on the app. Getting rejected before a VI would be a huge blow to me. I submitted my app on 31/12. hope they do send the invites in batches this...

    Do you know if they send out all of the VI invites on the same day?

    Binned by Skadden! Shame, really liked the firm and had interacted with them a lot during various events at my uni.
