Just checked on my CMS portal and it says my VI has been reviewed

Does anyone know how fast they are at getting back post-review?

Mine took about 3 weeks I think

Know the firm very well, review your cv and previous experiences, and prep questions for the end of it. Maybe research more about the person interviewing you and their practice area

Now that we’re in January it should Be relatively quick. Last year mine was reviewed in January and 2 days later I had an ac invite!

Is anyone else having trouble answering the Squire Patton Boggs skills questions? The word limit (150 words!?) is so low and I don't know if it's worth bullet pointing experience or just talking about 1 thing in as much detail as possible

I only talked about one experience for each

I have a Clyde and Co VI that says I have until the 7th January to do it. I was planning to do it today but got covid yesterday and feel pretty awful today. Does anyone know if ‘until the 7th’ includes tomorrow or is it until midnight tonight? Hoping I might be a bit more alive tomorrow

Tomorrow night.

That's what I thought! But saw their Instagram and they have a countdown for a submission for 11.59 tonight! I'm submitting it tonight to be safe but thought others should know!
