I think they have two int rounds (July and Aug), so that’s probs why TC offers go out in Sept. The app deadline is June 30 and non rolling iirc.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I am pleased to announce I got an SH PFO finally, it took 73 days post app but glad it’s over lmao. My UK firm PFO streak is continuing to expand. I’ll have Ashurst to add to the list next Friday! I think this is the 29th PFO of the cycle now. Hope Bakers works out and I get the VI stage.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Tbf though the deadline for apps last year was a lot later too (July 31), this year it was March 27… So I assumed they brought the deadline forward and would send out decisions sooner but idk. If they still plan on sending SJT and VIs in July and August we’ll be waiting a long time lmao.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I sound like a broken record now but has anyone heard from SH post app this week? I wonder why it’s taking so long to send SJTs and/or PFOs… Also has anyone heard from bakers post SJT with a VI or PFO? I thought that the outcome was gna be automatic based on a pass or fail of the test…- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I did an AC at Weil this cycle despite having a few modules that were 2:2s, but I had valid mit circs. Most of my uni modules were high 2:1s and firsts though so I think they looked at it holistically.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

The SJT is selective post app. If you pass the SJT then you get the VI. If you pass the VI, then it’s AC. So each stage is individually assessed.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Just gna add my two cents the verbal reasoning Qs were horrid lmao. There’s at least 12 of them… But the test overall is okay. If you get c22/36, 4 min per pillar and high verbal = likely to get VI tbh.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

There was no need to turn the camera on so you should be good to go tbh esp with travelling. It took me about 45 mins cos there wasn’t maths at all. So it’s doable within an hour honestly.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
