At least the email said they weigh the WG and application together, but it's still scary😅

They probably will PFO some people if their WG was awful and invite more to do WG test?
They send WG in batches so you might be in the next one
in an interview, is it okay to give examples from university even though i’ve graduate uni and am now a paralegal? i only just graduated last year, but just want to check that examples from uni are still relevant or not
Slaughter SWE interview!
Would really appreciate any insight/advice regarding this.

The firm really likes to put pressure on everything you say! If you mention an article, or something which is going on in the world, make sure you are knowledgeable enough on the topic to have a full-blown debate.
Also, prep some unique questions for the end. Most people tend to ask about the international strategy, try to have a range of questions prepared and choose one which will best match your interviewers. E.g., if you're with a competition partner, try ask them about something relating to that practice area.
The article part of the interview, make sure you defend your point strongly!! They tend to play devil's advocate and try to make you doubt yourself, but just stay firm and you'll be fine!
Good luck

No, I got invite last week but I haven't done the test yet
Those who applied to Osborne Clarke VS - could you please let me know whether you received the link to the verbal reasoning test straight away? The email confirming that application was submitted says the link to the test will be sent shortly. I submitted the application on the 5th of Jan and haven't received anything. Wondering whether it will be sent 7 days before the deadline, which is 6th of Jan.
P.S. good luck to all on the applications!

Anyone heard back from DLA regional offices? I applied for Leeds and saw some people got AC for London...
Could you let us know what they say, thanks!
Hopefully, Latham send out more AC invites this week if they are holding them next week.
Unless they have given loads out to people who are not active on TCLA haha!

Just a heads up, the deadline on the email I received was 9am today😅. Hope you're able to complete it!
