Update!

A few PFOs to add to the list:
  • Milbank - post stage 2 test
  • Mills & Reeve - post VI
  • Cooley - post app
  • Bates Wells - post app

Currently waiting to hear back from:

I'm definitely nervous to hear back from the VIs especially. I feel like I've only gotten comfortable with interviews recently/improved my answers from sometimes going a bit wrong in the ones I've completed, but I suppose it's all a learning curve! Also going to try and apply for K&L Gates by the 31st but largely I think I've completed my applications for this VS cycle which is a bit scary. I'm planning to apply for some DTC but I don't have much legal or commercial legal experience so we'll see how it goes.

Best of luck to everyone, hang in there
