How long does the process of VS generally take after application deadlines close?
Hi
I have the Ashust AC tomorrow and it is the first time I have ever gotten past the application stage for any firm. I don't have anything to offer but I would be beyond grateful if you could share any insights into the written exercise.
Thank you if you can!
Does anyone have advice preparing for a business case study as part of an AC. I am trying to research recent news stories etc but is so overwhelming as there are so many different things it could be on, any one have any advice?
Congratulations! may I ask when you did the VI? Also regarding the VI section the K&E application portal, did the "completed date" change to a date after you actually had submitted the VI?
Do I assume a PFO for K&E and W&C if I haven't heard anything for summer schemes? This is just after the application stage, with no test invite or anything.

Yes, if your friend is happy to submit on your behalf they can do this. It will need to be via their account though rather than via you.
I’m in the same position and not sure either! Trying to be optimistic but losing hope
We're going to stay optimistic! Most people who post updates, from what I have noticed, are mostly spring applicants. A shame that they don't specify it, but let's not lose hope.
It varies between firms because they each have their own recruitment process. Each firm also has a specific number of applicants. 🙂
Large international firms like Hogan Lovells and White & Case get between 4,000-5,000 a year, for example. 🥲
Firms use online tests, video interviews, online written exercises, assessment centres, or even a combination of all of these.
It can be 1-2 weeks or as long as 1-3 months after the application deadlines close. 🥲
VS usually last around 1-3 weeks. Summer VS will tend to be longer than Winter or Spring VS.

tbf, I applied to the London office and haven't heard anything after the CTA. wish they would just send PFOs if they have already started hostings ACs and if I am not making it to the next round
I saw some people say they'd had PFOs from the London office as early as January 10th on this thread, so the fact that you haven't heard back yet could be good news? Just sucks to not have anything at all to go off as we haven't been issued CTA reports / any other feedback!
do you mind sharing for which scheme you applied? spring or summer? if for spring - were there also applicants for the summer schemes at the AC?
Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking, when did you apply and pass the test?
but I don't want to get my hopes up just because others have received PFO but I agree that the waaait is tooo long
Hi I had an AC last week and was sent it too...I just did it to be on the safe side
