My Hopeless TC Journey :')
Thank you so much @Andrei Radu for the encouraging words! I really hope that what you are saying is true and my approach possibly allows me to attain the success I badly want. It is even more personal for me as there are so many odds for an international candidate. I am not from an elite law...- optimistic_undergrad

The question in the DTC application of Baker McKenzie was of a similar nature, right? :rolleyes::rolleyes:- optimistic_undergrad

How so? Even if they haven't got as many applications as they might have expected, they'll still maintain their standards, right? So if not for your good performance, the selection has nothing to do with the number of applications imo.- optimistic_undergrad

I might have been late updating this, but Hogan Lovells' PFO came in yesterday as Monsieur @spamelinazoid predicted. I was expecting a PFO and was anxious. I don't know why I even had a bit of hope with my HL application when I knew that it was not a half-decent application. Maybe I was being...- optimistic_undergrad

As @spamelinazoid has stated, it might be that soon they are going to release the outcome anyway, and hence, they have started holding back from sharing the WG scores. Nevertheless, please don't assume anything negative, as there are so many factors that we have no idea to base our assumptions tbh!- optimistic_undergrad

My Hopeless TC Journey :')
It has been about a week since I shared an update on this thread. I have completed the Cappfinity Assessment that was sent to me by Ashurst. It had a Watson Glaser Test as a part of the Critical Thinking Assessment. I am quite good with Watson Glasers, so I am hopeful to have passed at least...- optimistic_undergrad

@Tintin06 I also reached out to the Early Careers Team of Hogan Lovells to ask about my WGT score. Apparently, I have passed, but they can't tell me the scores. Also, I asked them about the outcome of the application, and they said that it will be shared by the end of this week. All the best to...- optimistic_undergrad

What!!??? After waiting for around 2 solid months, all you were told was that you've passed the WGT. I mean, if that's something for which HL was going to send a separate email, then why wait for 2 months?! I thought that after taking 2 months, HL would send emails telling the actual outcome of...- optimistic_undergrad

Law firm expansion into India
Being a law student in India, I am a bit aware of this situation. The Bar Council of India is trying to find ways to open up the door for foreign law firms to operate in India, however, many elite lawyers and law firms oppose this idea. There is currently a huge barrier to entering the Indian...- optimistic_undergrad

Attended the Legal Cheek Virtual Law Fair today. An early career member of HL said that they haven't gotten back to ANYONE after the WGT. This is quite contradictory to what many have posted on this thread, right? Like so many people have stated about receiving PFO post the WGT from HL. I don't...- optimistic_undergrad
