I haven’t heard anything from HSF K and did my app in October idk if that’s a good or bad sign

I had a meeting with grad recr on Friday through my uni and they said they are still going through applications and we might hear in the next 2/3 weeks

Has anyone that passed DLA Piper's video interview but then not heard back from the firm for an AC emailed graduate recruitment for an update?

Mishcon only had 4 slots to choose from for ACs next week (Monday AM, Monday PM, Wednesday AM, Wednesday PM) - Makes me think that they will probably be inviting more...

LOL I’ve been trying to figure out if anyone got a HSFK Spring AC and I think you’ve made me realise why

so do they invite like 6 people to 4 slots then will release more later?

High Verbal, High Numerical - 6/6/3/6

Do you remember when you sat the SJT? I fear I am getting a PFO

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has some insight into what the assessment centre and written exercise is like with Trowers & Hamlins, and just any general advice for written exercises!

I would love to know too as it is my first AC

Got 7/7/4/6 and no invite for Mishcon. High verbal and Mid Numerical. I think it's obvious there is greater weighting on the online test. My responses were not strong - I had a few spelling mistakes because I found the software a bit clunky to deal with.
