    Still nothing from Orrick for me, I emailed about two weeks ago but no reply to that either. I guess they're just taking their time

    Has anyone heard from Orrick at all post-written exercise? I'm not sure if I should email them - it's almost been a month since I submitted mine and I'm not sure how long is normal to wait :/

    Yeah, submitted my VI 07/12. I don't feel especially confident but I'd like to be put out of my misery at least!
