Rejection from Bakers

Gowling test invite - very surprised as my app was rushed and 90% copied from another app.
Is it the same as TW?

Same, and congrats! Bloody short deadline though, basically needs to be done asap.
Just got WG for Bakers! Does anyone know how high you need to score to be put to the next stage? Do they judge your application alongside your WG score to decide? Really hate the WG, but looking back on my application I don't think it's the best I've done, yikes!
Congratulations!!! That is brilliant! Do you mind me asking what your application was for and on what date you submitted it on? Did it take long for your application to progress through each stage of the process? Thank you!
After my AC with CMS yesterday I am really happy to say that I've been offered a place on their vacation scheme (CMS Academy) next year! This forum has been a HUGE help to me throughout the process so thank you all! Also want to note for anybody that may have an AC in the future with CMS that the virtual AC was a really positive experience, I felt really reassured throughout and the partners who interviewed me were really friendly!
