    Hogan Lovells Application 2020/21

    I requested my WG report from them on the 2nd of November and heard back on the 11th. So they'll happily send through your results but it might take a while to get back to you. At this point you'll probably hear your application outcome sooner than your WG report.

    Rejected in the application review stage post WG, or just at WG?

    I haven't gotten a response yet. I spoke to someone on another forum who submitted over the weekend like us and they got their result the following Monday. It's definitely a manual response that has to be done on a working day. We'll probably find out tomorrow, best of luck!

    One of the application questions is about your skills and attributes - you can discuss your ECAs and achievements more here. I don't think there's a dedicated box for them on their own, though.

    I did the test around 11pm last night and received my report immediately but haven't yet heard back as to if I've passed the benchmark. Not too optimistic on the results. Does anyone know when I should expect to hear back?
