    Got PFO from White & Case and WFW post VI. I think I’m lacking skills required for VIs. Any suggestions how to crack VIs? Also any suggestions for macfarlanes SJT?

    Macfarlanes have said that they're working through VIs now so it might be another month (!) until we hear back. They made it sound like they haven't sent any AC invitations out

    Nothing back from MacFarlanes to anyone I think. I think they do it in July usually.

    I hope the wait is not too long for Macfarlanes. I feel like I did terribly in that stage 2 assessment

    According to Macfarlanes, I can’t apply for their vacation scheme or DTC because I’m qualified in another jurisdiction?!?!? But last cycle they progressed my application to the second stage ? What is this ? Can anyone let me know please if there are other firms with such policies?

    Any insights for White & Case VI? I can trade with Reed Smith VI, Stephenson Harwood VI, OR (Morgan Lewis TI and Macfarlanes VI - they allow reapplications)

    I just did the Macfarlanes stiumulate assessment. During the written task grammerly kept coming up even when I turned it off. Could that impact my ability to pass or could they see that as Using external tools?
