How important do you think it is to complete a forage virtual experience of the firm you have an upcoming AC for? I understand it shows a further investment in getting to know the firm but its so soon (alongside exams) that I'm stuck for time and would prefer to carry on with the other avenues of research. I'm not actually sure it's even checked and if I'd be asked about it but would love to know anyones thoughts.

It is variable between firms, the firm I will be joining generally calls for offers and emails for rejections but I have had calls for rejections post-AC in the past also. A call is great as you have the opportunity to discuss feedback there and then as opposed to potentially long waits for anything contructive

Most common - call to offer, email to reject.
But some firms will call even when it is a rejection. And some firms will email to offer, especially if they are super busy or have had trouble getting hold of you (I sent so many congrats emails just because people hadn't set up voicemails on their phone!).

I don't think it is necessary to do it - a lot of people won't have the time to do so. You could always say you plan to do it in the Easter break/ahead of summer vacation schemes.
I personally don’t think it’s necessary. I didn’t do one for Weil and it never came up, I haven’t heard of it coming up in other ACs
Thank you! Relieved much stress.
Is it surprising when there appears to be multiple candidates holding multiple MC VS (or even TC) offers and they their dates clash? I'd be interested to hear your perspective from Grad Rec. Presumably its because you don't want to lose a 'good'/'excellent' candidate? I did think it was rather scrappy that offers were being accelerated or heavily influenced by other MC offers, and at times, I found it a bit ridiculous that TC offers were being given from VS ACs as a result of competing VS offers.
Im also waiting - not to be negative but I’m assuming pfo at this pt. I have friends who did the AC after me and got an offer within a week
Omg Mills & Reeve partner interview invite post-AC!!!!! I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would be in this position!!!! Any tips would be extremely appreciated!!
So so so so proud of you WHAT A LEGEND ❤❤❤
Anyone waiting for Covington post AC, they are aiming to get back to us all early next week
I don't think this has been replied to - it doesn't look like (m-)any Birmingham applicants have heard back yet

Same here, stopped by the TW GBA test.
The silliest reason to deliver a rejection based on some random buttons (which already costed you 60+mins), provided TW asked you to write quite a specific, far from straightforward application.
It's indeed a sunk cost but still a massive waste of candidate's resource imo.
