Davis Polk Insight Day reserve list :( I'm a bit doubtful anyone would say no but they mentioned there were only 40 spaces for each Insight Day so I imagine it's really competitive.

I've emailed asking if I could be considered for their next Insight Day in November instead but somewhere in my mind I think I remember seeing it stated that I could only apply to one (I don't know if I might have mixed this up with a different firm) but I can't seem to find any information about this on their website or application portal :/ Does anyone know anything further about this?

Hello,
This is for White & Case vacation scheme.

Please give details of any interests and extra-curricular activities, including any positions of responsibility or achievements. Tell us what skills and competencies you have developed in the activities you have undertaken and how you developed these. – 300 words

Does this mean I'm supposed to mention either positions of responsibility or achievements, because I was going to mention one extra-curricular, one position of responsibility I held, and one achievement. After re-reading the question, I'm unsure. Also, how do you structure the 'how you developed these' section?

Thank you

No worries we win some and lose some. I did the test on the Monday of the week 26 or 27 Sept.
Thanks for sharing that.

I did mine on 19 Sept and heard nothing back

Hi, I completed the NRF Artic shores test. Very interesting to say the least... How did others find it? How does NRF score this?
Hi there! It was interesting indeed. Has anyone received word from the firm itself yet or no? I have only received a feedback report form the Arctic Shores company but not the firm. Any ideas of when we should be expecting firm feedback?
