Gowling WLG AC 2022 Feedback

[GXA123]

So probs

omg that’s interesting - I got told something similar but assumed when they said we aren’t competing with each other they meant like all 5 of us could go through and like no one from another AC

that's a bit unfair don't u think hahahah, I think there is a set number but they were just saying that so we don't feel like its a competition during the group exercise.

This is how I interpreted it too

Yes - that was the context for us also. We could make an educated guess taking the assumption that (from a London perspective):

1. there were 3 ACs between 3rd Feb and 17th Feb.
2. each AC had on AVG 6 persons.

This would mean that there were 18 applicants that attended the London office AC. Assuming the Birmingham office was the same, that would mean 36 applicants overall. Where WLG offers 25 TCs per year and recruits solely through VCs - it is likely they might offer c.30 VCs.

N.B. This is literally a complete guess based on the most bizarre (and perhaps incorrect) assumptions btw haha.

Birmingham only had 2 ACs

Well, that blows my assumptions right out the water... hahah

Suppose we just continue to wait!

I think they said they had 40 ish reach AC (dunno if this was for London & Bham or just London) - but a lot of firms offer double the amount of vac schemes as TC

maybe with this in mind they really do offer just as many vac schemes as people they like - sometimes it could be 25 sometimes more

They also said 40 I think most likely 30-35 will progress
