Clifford Chance TC

I can’t work out if they are reading non priority? If they aren’t surely they would have just sent out a batch of rejections based on the fact priority is full, I also haven’t heard of any watson glaser invites? Very confused! Time will tell...


Having similar thoughts!

Non-priority final year law here. I was sent my Watson Glaser one day after my application. After completing it, I received an email telling me that I passed and that I am currently being reviewed. The process has not been so similar to everyone, however. Lets hope that it will clear up in the next few days...

I've also heard of quite a few priority candidates that have been rejected today as well!
 
No portal update usually means a rejection right. Oh well

This whole process has been more complicated than it should be. However, are you sure that it is usually a rejection? I always play by the no news = good news rule, especially if Clifford seems to be very active in responding!

To be honest I wouldn’t say I’m completely sure, so who knows. Praying it’s good news .

Hi I received an email stating that I passed the Watson Glaser and that my application is currently under review.

Hey!

Thanks for replying. Yeah, I received an initial email shortly after submitting the WG with the same message but, because I got that before the 10th Dec deadline, I think I took that as just a general automated message haha.

Okay, glad to hear there's still hope - hopefully we get an idea soon of when to expect a response for the next stage!
