When did you apply for it if i may ask? I've been looking to apply for their in-person insight day but i couldn't find one besides than the virtual insight evenings

Few weeks ago, I am afraid it has been closed days ago.

Where can premium members watch recordings of the recent class on "why you, competency stories & work experience"?

I have already messed up on the first VI question for Macfarlanes simulate assessment. I panicked and didn't really make much sense. Am I better off not submitting it so that they won't have a record of it if I want to apply in the future?

88th percentile for linklaters WG but nothing back

I was 99th percentile last year but got rejected without progression. No news is good news!

I looked at the Milbank's application portal, and it only showed areas to post work experience + grades. Slightly confused as there weren't any areas to answer long-form questions. Is this how they are conducting their first stage?

Yes, some firms seem to be pivoting away re AI worries. Freshfields similar.

You will be asked to do that if you pass the first stage, grades & eligibility screening.

[jojo23]

how bad is it to ask for a VI extension... im on holiday lol or do I just try and firm it

Stand on business and do it on a beach or from the pool.

15 seconds...That's almost enough time to read the questions

 

[zxkwok]

I really enjoyed the tasks. Unsure how I'm performing with VIs yet, as not heard positively or negatively from any I've completed VIs for.

Hi there! Would you mind sharing how many questions there were for the written and VI component?
