I haven't heard back either, but I would assume its positive since loads got rejections?

Don't give up! Your application passed the original sift which is no easy feat. Remember, all it takes is one yes.

Thank you darling but this is my third cycle and I always get rejected at VI stage for some reason. It feels like my 4 years of undergrad and work experience mean nothing in the legal world But you’re right, all it takes is one yes, so I’ll find it in me to do one more application

Yeah, I haven't heard anything still and I feel like we would have??? Either they haven't reviewed our application yet or hopefully we hear something positive later today

I knew bashing out an application on the last two days was risky

oh wow so sorry to hear that Would you know if ppl have received online tests already?

 

[lelezb1]

I know this is weird but are you really expected to look into the camera when completing a VI? Most times I’m looking at myself and the timer. Is not looking directly at the camera enough of a reason to not progress?

so from my experience, looking at the camera is important. The only thing i did differently in my willkie vi (the only VI i progressed till date) is to look at the camera the entire time. Along with giggling/smiling in between cause i was crying internally.

Might have started the morning with a PFO, but what I do know is good news is coming through!

I received an invite last week for summer

 

[lalalailovelife]

how do u prepare for written exercises? i can't seem to find much material online

 

[oliviabeijing]

Does anyone know when we will hear back from Clyde & Co after the VI?

 

[solicitor_2028]

The OC test invite says that it should be completed within 5 days and doesn't specify a time. So is it safe to assume that if I got my test invite at 23:00 on the 15th, my test link will expire on at 23:00 on the 20th?
