I applied for Clyde & Co about a week ago and still have not received a VI invite. Can anyone tell me how long theirs took to come through or should I be contacting GR at this point?

Hi! If you don’t mind answering, when did you submit your VI?

They send mine within 2 days so I reckon you should contact GR!

I haven’t done it yet but I think there are some scenario based questions too!

Okay, great thank you. Once they send it, how long do you have to complete it? Don't want to have to end up doing it on Christmas day or anything!

CC PFO last night - scored 99th percentile on WG, and thought I had a really strong app.
maybe just not enough legal work experience? just really got my hopes up with WG score and then straight PFO - hard not to get disheartened!!

Congrats!! What do you think the difference was this time round?

I haven’t heard back from CMS post VI despite applying around the same time so it’s not looking too promising!

Same here tho I had a worse wg result. I feel like sometimes it’s just so weird and you can’t find a rational explanation without knowing their Criteria. A couple of times, I passed through with applications I though I completely bottled but didn’t go through with the ones I thought were perfect

CC sent an email saying expect an email in the new year to see if I get an AC invite ( I applied for the ME TC)

Congrats everyone on the CMS AC's!! i submitted my WG on the 8 Dec havent heard back since I'm hoping they will do another VI round or send a response soon so Christmas break isnt stressful 🙌😭

maybe one day we'll look back and it will all make sense!
