Hi anyone who did orrick WG and other WG did you find this one harder?😭 I know it’s the same test but this made my head actually spin

Addleshaw Goddard (AG) AC London (did VI 1 month ago).

Question:

Can anyone answer these, or alternatively, would you recommend me asking Early Careers?

I want to strike the right balance of resourcefulness and being communicative/proactive.

1. Is the AC 'blind', i.e., do the partners/ assessors see your application form/ VI beforehand? Good to know so I'm not repeating myself too much.

2. Are partners randomly allocated or not? Do I learn who they are beforehand?

3. Do I receive any further information on the AC before attending, or should I go off the information on the website? (The email has no info apart from the date & office address I booked - website just briefly outlines format/agenda)

Thanks

Hmmmm, could it be that Akin did not review applications submitted closer to the deadline?

Haven't heard from WFW post AC, have many people heard? They told me that today would be the day they got back to many people.
