best tip would be to calm nerves down as much as possible. talk to people as you normally would, it helped me relax and I found i was able to connect with everyone at the firm a lot better this way. your assessors are just people, dont be afraid to ask them questions to show curiosity and get to know them a bit, you never know, you might have a mutual interest which you can then talk about (dont force this though or u might seem unprofessional)

Really? I spoke to one of the EC team and she said they haven't sorted ACs out yet - this was around a month ago. They probs did a couple already. I hope we hear the good news soon.

How was the commercial case study interview? Do they expect you to have a strong understanding of commercial awareness/thinking, or do they just want to see how you think and process information?
they look for both really. try to be flexible and willing to change your mind when you are objectively wrong, but also dont be too intimidated to hold firm on ideas which you know are right. in terms of commercial awareness, be aware of how businesses operate and what clients want out of negotiations or disputes

Hey I've not received PFOs yet from them whilst others have received it. Makes me wonder what's wrong on my app, especially AOS as I did the Amber better than expected. Ikr I messed up Mac VI, but not sure why the PFO hasn't yet to come, esp I was completing second test on 23/10
I literally don't know about this firm too, maybe wait-list again??? Please one AC before Xmas
Congrats!!Weil SJT+VI invite

I applied on 5 November but haven’t heard anything so definitely not semi-automatic! I’m expecting a PFO because despite having A*AA, I only got a low/mid 2.1 with multiple 2.2 grades and I can’t imagine that with removing all application questions, they aren’t looking for strong A levels AND at least a strong/high 2.1.
Many don’t even have 1 offer and you do. I wouldn’t stress as much.Mark my words guys, I WILL get one more VS this year even if my life depends on it(self motivation)
Future elle come back to this by the end of this cycle
It probably depends on if you’ve got extenuating circumstances and/or flagged as contextual too, because I only have ABB A-levels and whilst I’ve gotten a high 2:1 in my degree, I had several 2:2 modules but I had mitigating circumstances. The majority of my modules were strong 2:1 or above but I had at least 4 2:2 module marks.
