5 exact days from the time you received the email on Tuesday. For example, if you received the email at 10:30 am, you'd need to send them off by 10:30am on Sunday :)- Haz

As @cogito ergo sum said above, saying 1 can definitely be okay as for certain topics there is so much to discuss and so many different angles to take. I got an AC doing 2 so clearly there is no preference. Just make sure you're considering 'the legal profession' as a whole :)- Haz

If anyone has any tips for how to best approach a strengths-based interview it would be much appreciated. Currently unsure how to really prepare for questions that will be centred around how I'd react to certain situations in the future, apart from ensuring I fully know the firm's core values...- Haz

Personality, it's 8 questions where you have to rank 5 options (basically asking which method you'd take in a certain scenario) - you then get a feedback report which highlights your 3 best skills/traits I received the next round's commercial questions 2 weeks after I took the SST :)- Haz

Hey, I completed the BCLP test on Wednesday and received a feedback report last night at 10pm - tells you what your 3 biggest strengths are and your 1 biggest weakness is.- Haz

From what I've seen, some people have had VI's and AC's, but they all applied a long time before the deadline, so they're clearly carrying out their recruitment on a rolling basis. They'll also only be looking through Spring VS applications (so if you applied for summer, may be even longer)- Haz

Would love to know this too. Seems very odd that you get given a score solely off your facial expressions and tone of voice 😅- Haz

Hey! It was the same for the Spring VS, they only outlined the dates in the email inviting to AC. So I doubt anyone knows the dates for summer VS until they hand AC invites out! I'm sure you could always email Grad Recruitment though :)- Haz

Yeh this confuses me quite a lot, especially when they encourage you getting in apps early but it looks like the earlier apps are often some of the last to hear 😩- Haz
