Applied to Addleshaw Goddard (AG) summer vac scheme early December, completed test a few days later, haven't heard anything.

Looks like a few people have been invited to stage 2 voice interviews (VI), including one who applied mid-late Dec and was invited a week later.

Should I assume my chances are low (similar timeframe to my Taylor Wessing/TW PFO), or am I maybe 'borderline' and they're wading through other candidates to decide whether to put me through?

Understand I'm theorising here which isn't always helpful but someone might have some thoughts - would really appreciate any insights! Don't remember timelines being mentioned during AG events.

Thanks! :)
