I think they send them out in batches? I got 4332 as well, some people here seem to think there will be no other VIs given out, but last year I got 4443 and got my interview 4 days after everyone.

It is equally plausible that they will just not send anything else out though. can I ask what u got?

Yes, I got the same as you actually thats why I was wondering haha. the fact that last year you got an interview 4 days later than everyone is somehow reassuring so thanks for the info it helped!

For those that haven’t got the first HL test yet, I emailed grad rec and haven’t heard back (I applied 29th September). Will keep you updated

thank u sm!!

I applied and I’m a graduate. I made it to video interview, so if that was the case I think I would have been screened out. On the website it says first year onwards

Hey could I ask if the online test are similar to any law firms one you have taken?

For those who did the first test for Hogan Lovells, was it essentially a WG, SJT and a proofreading exercise? Also, did it have a VI element to it?

For White & Case, is there a VI with the test, once the application is sent off?

Thank you!

HL - yes!
W&C - no!

Sounds silly, PFO from Legal Cheek Webinar for STEM students. I had undergrad in Business STEM designated program (BS/BSc), but perhaps they thought my degree title is BBA/BCom/BA🤷🏻‍♀️
