Cheers - with offers of interview, or rejections so far?

If I was the one who wished to write so formally and correctly even on an 'informal forum,' I personally wouldn't have written "lol."

Same for me - I got invited for an interview, not sure if I'll accept it though given my exam timetable...

What's the convention for when one has been offered a VS place but still has outstanding applications to hear back from? I don't want to let my place go but at the same time I want to keep my options open...

Depends on whether you're content with the VS you've got.

If so, then you'd email HR of the remaining law firms and ask to cancel your application so you give someone else a chance at a VS.

If not, then you wait for the outcome of your application, then email HR if you want to do give someone else a VS should you be successful.

I'm still waiting too.. did they give you a rough time scale of how long the wait would be or are you just presuming two weeks? Best of luck! Didn't you say in another post your application status had changed to assessment centre?

i'm presuming 2 weeks though they did say "in due course". yes my status changed to assessment day, but now the status is merely blank so i have no idea what has gone on - whether the system messed up or they changed their minds - so i'm not holding my breath. what does the status of yours say?

I completed mine on Tuesday. Seems ok, slightly surprised by the format but I thought some of the questions could have had multiple answers, depending on your personality. Hope it goes well for you. Was just interested to see what others thought.
