Surprised it is taking so long after interview! I wonder what their decision making process is...

Has anyone else who applied for EY been moved on to the shortlisting stage? My app is on stage 4 but it says this is just while they’re shortlisting candidates and they’ll update soon. But with the experience day happening next week it’s going to be a really fast turnaround.
Same here, given their Instagram post ytd said there’s no more interview for WVS, @Jessica Booker i wonder if it is ok to just email GR for an update and basically ask for a PFO?
Hi @Jessica Booker,
I'm currently applying to a firm with the question:
'Please give details of any interests and extra-curricular activities, including any positions of responsibility or achievements.'
This is second to a covering letter which needs to be written. Am I right in thinking that we generally shouldn't repeat anything on a covering letter which we have already described in our application? I'm struggling with how to start this question. I'd quite like to add my personal experience growing up as my biggest achievement is helping my brother push himself into Law school. However, I feel this more suits 'what is your greatest nonacademic achievement' which unfortunately isn't a question for this firm.
Thanks!

CMS VI invite! Was starting to lose hope
CMS VI too 
have not heard back from any firm so feels good to finally hear something
have not heard back from any firm so feels good to finally hear somethingI agree with all said above- Weil does take a lot of pride in its pro bono work so I think it is a good one to mention as a supplementary point but not a main one. I also think talking about in a way that links to specifically why it interests you will probably be more impactful than just talking about the fact that it is fee earning work!
Well done and good luck!!
Just wanted to ask how long you had to prepare for each stage for Reed Smith? - e.g. Simmons gave 5 full calendar days to complete the SJT once you had submitted your app. Thank you so much in advance!
Same here! I have trip abroad booked for next week so hopefully the AC will not actually be on Thursday haha
CMS VI as well! Good luck everyone ☺️
You can say, for example and depending on the city, that the firm's practice in X and Y in which you are interested is particularly strong in that city etc. If it's London, you can also say thay you chose London because it's one of the biggest financial centres in the world and the main hub for business in the UK which provides for a fast-paced working environment.
Just checked the portal - EY experience day invite! I can see an option for 25th and 29th, but not sure if I should only register for the 25th since that's what previous emails have said. Any idea?
