To me this suggested it was in-person but I would’ve emailed to ask 🤷

I wasn't talking about mayer brown, it is a different firm lol. Anyways what was the point of searching and posting this? Bad vibes

I really hope you get it too! 31 May - when I booked there was only one slot available but I am sure they are planning to invite more to ACs!

Congratulations and thank you for letting us know! I almost lost hope but then I applied on 17 July (I hope it’s not too late), hopefully some positive news soon 🤞🏻

Best of luck for your AC!!

When did people start receiving the WG after submitting their app to Hogan Lovells?

 

[FT.g]

Hi all, I haven’t heard back from White & case, no email to reject me or email to VI - is it safe to assume it’s a PFO? Or are they a firm that always replies? Thanks

Hi all!

I wondered if anyone knows about Watson Glaser percentiles - is the percentile your score as a percentage? I know it is a comparison as to how you performed against your norm group but if anyone had any info on this, then I would really appreciate it!

HFW TC Offer! This forum has been invaluable over the past year. Good luck to you all!

 

[studentdelaw786]

Is it a PFO if there is no new email beyond the confirmation email from Dorsey?

They’ve held interviews.

immediately after submitting the app basically. it is automatic

Thank you! Also I know I was just wondering if it goes out in batches like in previous years. I submitted my app on Thursday and haven’t received it yet.

I think it takes about 2 to 3 days from the submission of the application.

Has anyone progressed from the application stage to the next stage at Dentons (the test or VI stage)? It seems that most of us, including myself, received PFOs post application, which makes me think they might have already filled most of their TC spots through vacation schemes.

 

[badmintonflyinginsect]

is the paul weiss interview CV blind?

 

[akuss]

Has anyone moved past VI for W&C, or received PFO post VI?

 

[RS Sanjanaa]

Has anyone moved past VI for W&C, or received PFO post VI?

I was told that we would hear back within the next 2 weeks if selected

Thanks for the info, I messed up my VI real bad, so I don't have hopes really . All the best to you!

 

[Atam!]

Did they say anything on those who still haven’t gotten a pfo post application? It has been weeks

Hiya @👩🎓

Just to clarify: a percentile is not the same as a percentage. A percentage is your raw score (e.g. getting 75% of questions correct), whereas a percentile tells you how well you performed relative to others in your norm group. So if you’re in the 75th percentile, that means you scored better than 75% of people in that group, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you got 75% of the answers right. Even with the same number of correct answers, your percentile could shift dramatically depending on the norm group.

What makes this tricky is that you don’t know what norm group you're being compared against; it could be everyone applying to that firm, or a broader population. You also don’t know how the firm is using the result. Some use it as a hard filter, others as just one factor among many. For now, I'd just focus on trying to get better and understand the type of reasoning demanded by each section.

Hope this is helpful and not rehashing anything you already know.
