Has anyone here ever gotten average scores for all but one with the Mayer Brown VRT & progressed ? I feel as though, those scores are perhaps what they look out for more than the situational judgement. So if you score a over average in all, plus have a good app..the you get through. Cause the situational judgement doesn’t really matter as you’re gonna score high in 3 things which they don’t mind as well.
Yep. I’ve gotten average scores and got through to telephone interview both times. It did take a month for them to get back to me though.

    anyone else not heard from mishcon since sending application? seen so many VI invites so I'm wondering whether to just accept it as a rejection.

    I have not heard either. Some people have been rejected post-app and pre-VI, so no idea what to think.
