Hey! I think every law firm has a section on their application where you can explain the grading system of your undergraduate degree. Utilise it wisely- Vdfrz20

I have a genuine question wrt to WG tests. Is it easily detectable if you use chatgpt? Does grad rec immediately flag it? Or? Would love jessica’s insight on this :)- Vdfrz20

I am honestly so confused right now. I haven't received anything from WFW after my VI- I know they had an AC a few days and they only invite 8 people in one AC, is it a PFO? or is it a "we will call this chap if someone drops out" - atp, j reject me- Vdfrz20

Dude hahah, It was my first vi, but here is how I prepared (pretty sure I bombed my wfw vi, congress crossed tho) 1) its super unnatural to talk while facing the camera, so practice practice practice 2) look up questions that the firm usually asks 3) stay a bit calm, you have 15-30 seconds to...- Vdfrz20

I had a very strange experience- I submitted the application, and I got a VI invite in 45 mins- most likely auto triggered- Vdfrz20
