Has anyone heard back regarding A&O Summer vac scheme? Should I just assume PFO at this point?

I’m waiting to hear back post AC

Does anyone know the type of questions on the Latham & Watkins VI at the end of the SJT?

WVS, I applied on the 24th but completed my WG on the 30th, it took a while to come through.

In a cover letter, is it okay to mention your completion of another firm's Forage course as a means to emphaise 'why law' and attest to your interest in a certain area of law?

Writing to a firm to change the schedule from a winter wvs to spring or summer after accepting an offer with them feels so embarrassing...

For the Latham application - does anyone know if the SJT is automatic or you have to pass the application stage and then get invited to the SJT and VI?

does the SJT include a VI as well? I can't seem to find it on their website and can't remember there being one from past years applications

The SJT contains a VI but it is only one question I think.
