DAC Beachcroft PFO. Hardest rejection by far. I'm not even sure this solicitor thing is possible for me anymore.

@Jessica Booker do you think it's worth emailing Hogan Lovells to ask for an update if I applied for their direct TC back in December 2023, with the application deadline being at the end of January 2024?

 

[A worried final year]

Got a PFO before I even did an online test with Baker Mckenzie!!!

Anyone know if there was some criteria that I missed?

The test isn’t automatic, they review applications first

There is no harm in doing so. I know there have been some changes with their Grad Rec team recently, so it maybe that there are delays because of that.

hi @Jessica Booker - I just realised that I have a copy-pasting error of one line being repeated in my application answer, is it going to be an automatic rejection now?

Not necessarily - it will be for some firms that pay very close attention to these things, but could possibly even be missed by other firms.
