Have your partner hide your phone- only thing that works for me

Hahaha I have to do this on my days off! He gets so confused though - feels like applying to law firms is a different world, and you can't know what it's like until you experience it yourself!

My boyfriend can never understand why we do this to ourselves . I can't even explain to him why!

Not to give false hope or anything, but it could be, because I saw on GradCracker.com where TW Graduate Recruitment Team details the application process and says that they would give a call to the candidates invited for an AC to inform them about what to expect during the assessment day and inquiring if any adjustments need to be made. Not entirely sure if this is true though, and if it is still being done, but if you don't mind me asking, did they send you an invite for an AC to your email already?

I haven't heard anything yet from TW post-game-based assessment! Has TW reverted back to anyone regarding ACs for the London Summer Vacation Scheme?

Hey unfortunately no I haven’t received anything since that phone call so it might have been something else.
I’ll post an update when I know more (hopefully with good news )

Definitely varies a lot - I got mine 3 hours after I submitted the application.

I emailed HL to know my WG score and I pass the test but not with a lot of points, do you think that a low score will jeopardise my application?

 

[User260802]

Anyone still waiting to hear back from DLA?

I think for HL you just need to pass, then they'll read your application.

Ugh HSF PFO for SVS. Can’t seem to pass the post-app stage for HSF and I like that firm, so it’s so frustrating. Been rejected from them for an open day and two vac scheme apps at this point.

Anyone who has applied to Mayer Brown, how long after did they send the SJT?

I Applied on the 3rd of January, but did not receive anything so far. I am attending their open day tomorrow, so I might ask them.
