How many VI questions are there in HL test stage 2? Are they motivational, SJT or competency based?
Hi all
I have my white & case final interview on the last few days of their schedule (from what I could see when I picked the day).
I’ve seen a vac offer from someone around after interviewing last week, which has made me a bit anxious. Does being scheduled on the final day of the interview put me at a disadvantage? Do interview processes like these operate on a rolling basis where spaces get filled quickly?
Any advice appreciated thanks!!

Still waiting after over 1 month. Haven't really seen anyone get an AC or interview.

Has anyone heard back from freshfield after stage 2 assessment?
I emailed grad recruitment and they said they were still working through the written exercise as they each get marked by an associate! (for WVS)
I’m trying to complete my A&O Shearman application. In the university module section, they only allow a maximum of 20 modules to be listed, but I have taken more than 20. What should I do? Can anyone help me out here?
Please help!!!
What is the etiquette for asking for an update/response after a TC interview?? They said 2-3 weeks and it's been 2.5.
I need to know because I have to let another firm know about a vac scheme!!!
Please help! Ideally I want to ask today

Hey, looking for Covington AC insights. First AC and currently dreading it.
Sorry I just realised I mistyped haha - I meant those that have received an invite!
Hi, I emailed the grad team, and they provided me with an email address where I had to send the remaining modules in Word. But I would email them if I were you. They respond quite fast

Hi @berocca567 normally, you should wait for at least the end of their stipulated deadline (so, 3 weeks) before asking for an update. That said, it is completely acceptable to ask for an update sooner if there is a good reason for it, such as an expiring offer from another firm. This is quite a common situation, so I would advise you not to worry - simply email the firm explaining that you have an offer which will expire soon and that you therefore want to ask them to let you know about the outcome as soon as possible.
If anything, you letting them know about this may advantage you, as firms are known to take a more favourable view of candidates if they are seen as being in "high-demand" - i.e. if one of their competitors has already made an offer. That said, if you prefer not to do this, I also cannot imagine it would cause any significant issues. You could simply accept the VS offer for now, and if you then get a TC offer and decide you no longer want to go on the VS, withdraw at that point - this is also a quite common situation and firms are accustomed to it.
