[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 188507, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=35586]@B2025[/USER] I'm sorry about the rejections, but remember, the cycle isn’t over yet. Many firms keep reviewing applications into January and beyond, so there’s still time. Also, reaching the VI stage for several firms is no easy feat. It's a testament to your hard work that you're reaching this stage. I think with a bit of practice, you'll be able to better deal with this stage of the application. More practically, I wanted to ask whether it was possible to reach out to the firms where you completed VIs to see if they can offer feedback? I know this isn't often possible in practice, but one of my friends was able to get feedback from Willkie and this enabled her to craft more convincing responses in future VIs. If that's not possible, I'd encourage you to keep practising your VI responses by recording yourself with voice notes or tools like Photo Booth. I think it's especially useful to practise timing your answers with friends, family, or even your university careers service (the support I had at UCL was excellent). This can help you pinpoint areas to fine-tune, whether it’s your delivery, conciseness, or the quality of your answers. Best of luck with the rest of the applications and any upcoming VIs! [/QUOTE]
