Congrats!! If you don't mind me asking, is this for the summer scheme?

Yes it is !

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

thank you @GXA123

Hi, I recently applied to S&C and have just got the 'on hold' email - I was wondering if everyone gets this?

Same for me

Is it only me or did others also get 3 emails from Squire Patton Bogg about their vacation scheme application deadline. I got the same email 3 times.

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?

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😂

I'm using one example and was strategic in the other examples I put in the activity bit (up to 300 questions so plenty of space!)

Summer!

Lovely. How many days have they given for you to finish the VI?

God I just checked and yeah 4 hours 🙄 guess it’s going to be a tight deadline squeeze for me if that’s the case!

Don't worry, I'm in the same boat!
