    Anyone else applying to AG? Am I the only one who lost around 1000 words of text because their system can’t properly save information? The worst application system I’ve ever encountered

    I had a look at the forum and found a post by @Rob93. There, it says that `70% is the post-app percentage for VS, 77% for direct TC. Difference I believe is that if you're applying for VS you submit work history info only if invited to AC, while it is included in the base application for direct...

    No for Linklaters. I still have 70% while others have 77. So, just as with CC, I assume a pfo.

    Same here tho I had a worse wg result. I feel like sometimes it’s just so weird and you can’t find a rational explanation without knowing their Criteria. A couple of times, I passed through with applications I though I completely bottled but didn’t go through with the ones I thought were perfect

    Same, feels painful seeing others getting invited but having zero clue on what's happening with your application...

    Upholding your personal/professional norms while working is the best example IMO (with professional norms being a much better example, because, well, you are applying to a law firm:). And I think it directly relates to reliability.

    Now im genuinely curious about the 2023 intake! I’d like to apply for 2023 but I’ve never seen this option (I’m not going to do it now but I'm asking so that in the future I do not lose an opportunity again). Where should a look? I’m sorry to hear that. May I ask you for which scheme you applied?

    Anyways, thanks. I thought it was my best ever application but I’m sure I would have received a test already if they liked it. On the application portal it says that it’s under review and they’ll email me once the status changes but then I guess it only does for those who succeed

    Hmmm, I thought they only opened applications for the 2024 training contracts….

    Also, is it for a direct training contract?

    Hi, O don’t think it’s automatic. May I ask when you applied? I sent my application on the 8th of December and never heard back…

    Hi, where exactly do you find information about updates?

    Hi, I just accidentally noticed that I received two tests from Reed Smith...... They are identical, and I did the first one a few days ago. I guess, I should not do it again, right? Also, should I email the grad recruiters right now?

    Yeah, I feel many firms have a lot to learn from CC in how they treat WG results.
