    Thank you!! Yes I think you’re right, I applied last year and got to the VI but the cover letter didn’t have a word limit so it was a bit easier haha. Trying to get it in this evening :D

    With the Squire Patton Boggs cover letter, are they looking for a personal approach (e.g why me) rather than talking about why you are attracted to the firm?

    Hi, I got my VI invite yesterday and was wondering if people had any tips? Are there any curveball questions? Is it difficult? Quite nervous :(

    I feel like this year my applications are much stronger but also feeling anxious that this is not going to translate in more ACs! Guess there’s not much to do but wait :(

    Love the feeling of dread application deadlines bring! Genuinely terrified I’ve left everything too late (once again!) Hoping that’s not the case but I’m also reassured by all the success people on the forum have been having recently, well done guys!

    It seems like a really quick turn around from benchmark to rejection, I wonder if they reviewed the applications. I must say I applied on the deadline day so wasn’t very hopeful!

    Is the verbal reasoning part of the online test similar to the WG or is it more a standard Verbal Reasoning assessment? Also how challenging is the test?

    With a question like “introduce a topic you know about and explain why it interests you?” Is it ok to talk about a hobby? I’ve written an answer I’m really happy with but now I worry it’s not a good topic!!
