    Sorry to hear but this happens way more often than you think. Happened to me this year with Mayer Brown. I think generally it's because the standard is higher for a VS app than an Open day one.

    IDK because I've seen people on this forum get invited to the next stage. But I guess I should be patient, I attended their open day so thought it was very strange they'd just ghost me without giving me a definitive answer

    Hi, I did my VI about 3 weeks ago but also still waiting. I'm worried too. Unsure if its just because they're super busy right now or it is just a bad sign

    Grad Rec said they screen applicants on a rolling basis but won't communicate until after the deadline to ensure they read all applications.
