    Oh, I know you can only apply for a single scheme, so I was worried I might be excluded if I applied to both. I didn't think about that aspect of the merger and them not being able to update me.

    It is not reviewed, so whether you have received it yet or not has no bearing... unless you are concerned about applying fast as its rolling. HL notoriously take a while to send the WG despite it being "automatic"

    Completely bombed my White & Case VI. So discouraging. Its so difficult to prepare competency, motivational and commercial questions in just 2 days.

    I know the interview is CV blind as they say it on their website. So I'd imagine this also goes for the VI :)

    HL post AC rejection. I thought it went very well, so quite disappointed.

    WVS offers for HL will be given out on the 27th/28th, and the scheme starts on the 5th of December. Is the firm likely to help with accommodation costs in any way? It is quite difficult to arrange things on such short notice.

    Slightly off-topic, does anyone know when firms usually have their exit interview? I imagine it is on the last day of the vac scheme, but it would be nice to know =)
