    Congrats on receiving a VI invite! May I ask what you applied for and to which office? Also when did you apply if you don’t mind me asking? I haven’t heard anything so am beginning to think it’s a PFO!

    Ah, so it may just be that they haven't got round to reviewing Summer VS apps yet! Thanks :)

    May I ask what programme you applied for? I applied for Spring VS. Hope you hear from them soon with a positive outcome :)

    They screen applications before sending out the WG invites so not everyone gets them. I applied on 1 December and got invited on 21 December.

    For Baker McKenzie, roughly how long did people have to wait between completing the WG and getting invited to VI?

    If you haven't received it email them! I emailed them a couple of days ago having not received the link and they sent it to me this morning!

    Is anyone still waiting to hear from Eversheds for Summer VS (post-application)? Can I assume it's a PFO?

    Hi, does Baker McKenzie send any sort of confirmation email once you complete the WG? I haven't received anything yet...

    Me too! I imagine it will come through after the festive period... although when are the ACs meant to be? Doesn’t give us much time to do the VIs...

    No I haven't. Do you know if the WG is automatic or do they screen applications first? And if you pass the WG do you automatically progress to VI or is there a further round of screening?

    Is Baker McKenzie WG automatic or do they screen applications beforehand? If the latter, does anyone know roughly what percentage of applicants get a WG invite?
